About the Authors

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) is one of the most important and influential philosophers in modern times, but he is also one of the least accessible. In this volume, leading experts chart the development of his work and clarify the connections between its different stages. The essays, which are both expository and original, address central themes in Wittgenstein's writing on a wide range of topics, particularly his thinking about the mind, language, logic, and mathematics. The contributors illuminate the character of the whole body of work by focusing on key topics: the style of the philosophy, the conception of grammar contained in it, rule-following, convention, logical necessity, the self, and what Wittgenstein called, in a famous phrase, 'forms of life'. This revised edition includes a new introduction, five new essays - on Tractarian ethics, Wittgenstein's development, aspects, the mind, and time and history - and a fully updated comprehensive bibliography.
- An updated edition of this accessible and wide-ranging volume, charting the work of one of the most important philosophers of modern times
- Includes five entirely new chapters on the mind, time and history, Tractarian ethics, aspects, and Wittgenstein's development
- Contains a new introduction which sets Wittgenstein and his thinking in its twentieth-century context, and a fully updated bibliography to reflect advances in recent scholarship

Reviews & endorsements
'The distinguished contributors take different interpretive approaches to Wittgenstein’s work and cover a wide range of topics. Some essays stay within the standard range of topics, whereas others, e.g., Sluga’s ‘Time and History in Wittgenstein', look to extend the range.' Choice
