Product Description

From his return to Cambridge in 1929 to his death in 1951, Wittgenstein influenced philosophy almost exclusively through teaching and discussion. These lecture notes indicate what he considered to be salient features of his thinking in this period of his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucid, ... and Smells like Cookies!, November 7, 2005
By A. Warren "Dedalus" (Bay Village, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In most ways I've found this book easier going than his "Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics," though of course there is some overlap. The continuity of the examples and discussion is well worth any confusion in the presentation (these are, after all, lecture notes by his students). It's also fairly strange to see, in the middle of a lecture, Alan Turing ask a question...

The best part, however, is that this is perhaps the sweetest-smelling book I have ever read. And what, to be honest, goes better with abstract investigations into the basis of mathematics than the smell of cookies? Nothing, that's what.
