5.0 out of 5 stars The best place to start your Wittgenstein Journey, June 8, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy (Paperback)
I've been reading by and about Wittgenstein for the last 4 or 5 years and recently came across this book. I believe I would have been spared a great amount of misunderstandings had I known Hacker's book earlier.

Although - as the title suggests - it is a general overview of Wittgenstein's thought, it gives a very clear if brief idea of all important issues and makes you understand his position as compared to many other great philosophers inside and outside Analytic Philosophy.

It also gives a brief overview of the development of Analytic Philosophy, its main contributors and their point of view on many decisive issues.

My thanks to Prof. Hacker for writing this great work.
