Josef Schächter Bücher

Considers the possibility of understanding ethics not as a natural science but as representing a different stratum of language. The text demonstrates how will and motive are better understood from their reflection in public language and action than as psychological contents.

This book presents the first English translation of Schachter's "Prolegomena zu einer kritischen Grammatik," originally published in 1935. It explores universal grammar, influenced by Wittgenstein, while addressing the limitations of conventional grammar. The translation replaces German examples with English ones to highlight similar grammatical issues.
