Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Routledge philosophy guidebooks introduce students to the classic works of philosophy. Each guidebook considers a major philosopher and a key area of their philosophy by focusing on an important text - situating the philosopher and the work in a historical context, considering the text in question and assessing the philosopher's contribution to contemporary thought. In "The Philosophical Investigations", Wittgenstein's most important work, he introduces the famous "private language argument" which affected the philosophical view of language. This volume discusses such elements of the philosopher's work.

Synopsis:

"Wittgenstein and the Philosophical Investigations" introduces and assesses Wittgenstein's life and its connection with his thought, the text of "The Philosophical Investigations," and the importance of Wittgenstein's work to contemporary philosophy.

Synopsis:
