Wittgenstein's Investigations 1-133: A Guide and InterpretationFirst Published in 2004. One of the greatest works of twentieth-century philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations is also one of the most controversial. Wittgenstein’s Investigations 1–133 provides a clear and concise introduction to the crucial early sections of this classic work. Andrew Lugg discusses in detail what Wittgenstein says about meaning, metaphysics and philosophy in sections 1–133 of the Philosophical Investigations. Besides making Wittgenstein’s thought accessible to a general audience and explaining its philosophical significance, the book develops a radical interpretation of his remarks. It takes Wittgenstein’s text to epitomize his philosophical outlook and applies Wittgenstein’s philosophical strategy to his own words. Wittgenstein’s Investigations 1–133 will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in Wittgenstein, language and the history of twentiethcentury philosophy |
