AbstractThe later Wittgenstein is widely held to be a relativist, indeed a constructivist. By contrast, this paper argues that all appearances to the contrary Wittgenstein was a realist, and that this fact becomes almost conspicuous in his late-1940s manuscripts. His realism was a common-sense one, the only kind of realism worthy of the name. Wittgenstein’s common-sense realism has unique traits: first, an uncompromising stress on deviations from ordinary language as a source of (bad) philosophy. Secondly, his awareness of the significance of the pictorial & the motor. Thirdly, his emphasis on established use, that is, on traditions. In the later Wittgenstein, philosophical realism and social conservatism converge.

Philosophical Realism

Martin Woessner places ideas about literary and philosophical realism in tension with what he takes to be Coetzee’s aims as a post-secular writer. In Woessner’s argument, Coetzee’s fiction exhibits a ‘yearning for transcendence’ that invites readers to participate in states that are ‘beyond realism’. Situating Coetzee in relation to a range of post-secular thinkers, Woessner focuses on his handling of several religious concepts, including redemption, salvation, and grace. He argues that Coetzee should be understood as an author who provides a space for the transcendental imagination, in a way that affirms Richard Rorty’s claim that the ‘search for redemption’ lives on in our secular age in ‘novels, plays, and poems’.
