Description

A milestone in Wittgenstein scholarship, this collection of essays ranges over a wide area of the philosopher's thought, presenting divergent interpretations of his fundamental ideas.

Different chapters raise many of the central controversies that surround current understanding of the Tractatus, providing an interplay that will be particularly useful to students.

Taken together, the essays present a broader and more comprehensive view of Wittgenstein's intellectual interests and his impact on philosophy than may be found elsewhere.

The thirteen chapters treat topics from both periods of Wittgenstein's work: More than half are devoted to his early thought, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus of 1921, reflecting a growing interest today among philosophers in reexamining this seminal book, while three chapters treat the Philosophical Investigations, published posthumously in 1953.

The remaining chapters discuss such "nonstandard" topics (about which Wittgenstein left some provocative but unsystematic notes) as philosophy of religion, aesthetics, and anthropology.ContentsThe Early Wittgenstein and the Middle Russell, Kenneth Blackwell * Frege and Wittgenstein, Michael Dummett * Wittgenstein and the Theory of Types, Hide Ishiguro * The So-called Realism of Wittgenstein's Tractatus, Brian McGuinness * The Logical Independence of Elementary Propositions, David Pears * The Rise and Fall of the Picture Theory, Peter Hacker * The Picture Theory and Wittgenstein's Later Attitude to It, Erik Stenius * Wittgenstein's Early Philosophy of Mind, Anthony Kenny * A Theory of Language?, G.
