Wittgenstein Rehinged

“Over the last decade, the topic of hinge epistemology has become central to many key debates in epistemology. Annalisa Coliva’s work has played a seminal role in this welcome development. This timely book brings together the pioneering articles of Coliva on the interrelated topics of Wittgensteinian hinge epistemology, scepticism, relativism, and anti-realism. The book is essential reading both for those interested in the latest developments in epistemology and readers who wish to have a more in depth understanding of Wittgenstein and his last work, On Certainty.” — Maria Baghramian, School of Philosophy, University College Dublin, Ireland.

“Coliva is a careful and thorough scholar of Wittgenstein, as well as an epistemologist well-versed in the contemporary debates. The reader will learn much both from her discussion of Wittgenstein, as well from Coliva’s detailed elaboration of her own ‘extended rationality’ conception of perceptual warrant and its place in the contemporary epistemological landscape.” — Genia Schönbaumsfeld, Professor of Philosophy, University of Southampton, UK.

“This collection of essays by one of the pioneers of Hinge Epistemology situates and delineates the importance of Wittgenstein in mainstream epistemology. Professor Coliva’s expertise in both On Certainty and epistemology enables her to navigate between the two with depth and breadth, making unprecedented critical connections between the two, and giving both new lives.” — Daniele Moyal-Sharrock, Professor of Philosophy, President of the British Wittgenstein Society, University of Hertfordshire, UK.

“This volume brings together the rich and important body of recent work that Annalisa Coliva has written on hinge epistemology. It will be essential reading for anyone working in contemporary epistemology." — Duncan Pritchard, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Irvine, USA.

 “I think her approach to Wittgenstein is distinctive and interesting, and certainly makes a useful contribution to the literature on him and on epistemology’. But that would read a bit clumsily as a blurb: I would be happy for you to recast this as ‘Coliva’s approach to her subject matter is distinctive and interesting, and she makes a very useful contribution to the literature both on Wittgenstein and on epistemology”. — Richard Gaskin, Professor of Philosophy, University of Liverpool, UK.
