Dialogues on Causality and the Limits of Empiricism

This paper presents the main lines of reasoning in the Wittgenstein notes entitled 'Cause and Effect: Intuitive Awareness,' in the form of a series of dialogues between Wittgenstein, Russell, and a few other philosophical voices. Two of the dialogues relate to what, in Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics , Wittgenstein called 'the similarity of my treatment with relativity theory.'
