Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
... a stimulating anthology that should be of interest to Wittgenstein scholars and contemporary philosophers of mind and language alike. Philosophical Investigations ... the anthology does an admirable job of continuing Pears' probing observations about Wittgenstein's philosophical thinking. For that reason I recommend it to interested readers. It is a useful addition to Wittgenstein scholarship and contemporary philosophical thinking. Philosophical Investigations
