Rezensionen

'This book will range among the best current readings of Wittgenstein's philosophy. It is a well-written, perspicacious, and instructive guide to reading the later Wittgenstein...such contributions to Wittgenstein scholarship are rare and deserve to be known by professional philosophers as well as by students.' - Dr Danièle Moyal-Sharrock, School of Philosophy, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
