matt's philosophy thesis

Interested in philosophy? Here's my doctoral thesis on Wittgenstein and the limits of language.

If you want to provide documents online, it's worth considering how they are presented.  My thesis demonstrates how an academic look and feel can be achieved with HTML, but the possibilities are endless.  I can help you decide on a look that's right for your visitors, and achieve it at minimal cost.

I write good copy, too.
