Sommario/riassunto: Mit seiner sowohl systematisch als auch philosophie- und wissenschaftshistorisch angelegten Analyse des Begriffs des Spielraums erschließt der Autor eine neue und wichtige Perspektive innerhalb der Wittgensteinforschung. Mit zum Teil verblüffenden Querverbindungen zwischen Physik, Wahrnehmungstheorie und Logik leistet Hyder zugleich einen Beitrag zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Insbesondere die aufgezeigten Verbindungen zwischen zeitgenössischer Sinnesphysiologie und dem Logizismus Russells und Freges erlauben es Hyder, den Begriff des Spielraums als Raum möglicher Bedeutungen schärfer und plausibler als bisher in der Sekundärliteratur zu konturieren. Indem Wittgensteins Spielraum als formaler Vorgänger des späteren Sprachspiels ausgewiesen wird, bietet das Buch zugleich wichtige Hinweise für die Deutung des Wittgensteinschen Spätwerks.
This analysis of Wittgenstein's concept of a Spielraum, in which the author approaches the Tractatus Logico-philosophicus both systematically and from the perspective of the history of philosophy and knowledge, opens up a new and important perspective in Wittgenstein research. In establishing unexpected cross-connections between physics, the theory of perception, and logic, Hyder also makes a valuable contribution to the history of 19th century science. In particular, the links he establishes between early sensory physiology and the logicism of Russell and Frege yield a sharper and more plausible account of the notion of a "space" of possible meanings than has hitherto been available in the secondary literature. In showing this notion to be a formal precursor to that of a language game, the study also provides important pointers for the interpretation of Wittgenstein's late work.
