* Encourages the re-incorporation of Wittgenstein studies into the mainstream philosophical conversation
* Has profound consequences for how we go on to read the rest of Wittgenstein's major work
* Makes a significant contribution not only to the literature on Wittgenstein, but also to studies in philosophy of language

Rezensionen

"The largely moribund state of current Wittgenstein scholarshipought to be radically changed for the better by this conspicuouslyinteresting and insightful book." Alan Thomas, PhilosophicalBooks

"Michael Luntley offers a striking interpretation ofWittgenstein's philosophy, one aimed at displaying and defendingWittgenstein's positive contribution in the later work. The resultis a theory of the conditions for the possibility ofintentionality, a theory that identifies the subject as agent inthe world with that condition. Powerfully argued, this interestingand original treatment of Wittgenstein's later philosophy raises achallenge for all of us who find a social dimension inWittgenstein's account of intentionality and normativity."Meredith Williams, The Johns Hopkins University

"Luntley provides an intriguing discussion of Wittgenstein'searly work, arbitrating judiciously between realist readings thatemphasise the place of reference in its account of language, andnon-realist readings that emphasise inference." DanielWhiting, University of Reading,Philosophical Investigations 28/4, October 2005
