Twelve years after the publication of volume I, this book represents the final, and fruitful, phase of Wittgenstein's philosophical career, and shows one of the 20th centuries most important, and controversial, thinkers at his clearest and best. In the last years of his life, from 1949 to 1951, Wittgenstein's writings focused upon knowledge and certainty (collected together in "On Certainty), upon colour concepts (in "Remarks on Colour"), and upon the relations between the "inner" and "outer", that is, between so-called mental states and bodily behaviour. His writings on this third theme are gathered here for the first time. Wittgenstein's last weeks were a period of high creativity during which his thoughts were on a level with the best he ever produced. His variations on the classic philosophical theme of the relation between mind and body is no exception.

From the Back Cover
This first volume of Wittgenstein's Last Writings on the Philosophy of Psychology was written between October 1948 and March 1949, when the philosopher had moved to Dublin and was having one of his most fruitful working periods. He then finished work which he had begun in 1946 and which in its entirety constitutes the source material for Part II of the "Philosophical Investigations". When, later in 1949, Wittgenstein composed the manuscript for Part II he selected more than half the remarks for it from the Dublin manuscript.
Although this material is a direct continuation of the writings which make up the two volumes of the Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology it deserves more than they to be regarded as a "preliminary study" for the second part of Wittgenstein's "chef-d'oeuvre". --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
