About this ebook

This volume of new essays presents groundbreaking interpretations of some of the most central themes of Wittgenstein's philosophy.

The volume combines historical and systematic approaches to Wittgensteinian methods and perspectives, with essays providing detailed analysis that will be accessible to students as well as specialists. The result is a rich and illuminating picture of a key figure in twentieth-century philosophy and his continuing importance to philosophical study.
