The philosophical thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein continues to have
a profound influence that transcends barriers between philosophical
disciplines and reaches beyond philosophy itself. Less than one
hundred years after their publication, his early masterpiece
'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' and the posthumously published
'Philosophical Investigations' have emerged as two classic
philosophical texts, each of which has elicited widely divergent
readings and spawned contesting schools of interpretation. This
collection of original essays by leading experts offers deep
insights into the forces that shaped and influenced Wittgenstein's
thought on a broad variety of topics. It also contains the text -
in both the original German and an English translation by Juliet
Floyd and Burton Dreben - of letters and cards sent to Wittgenstein
by the philosopher and logician Gottlob Frege, which shed light on
their interaction during the crucial period when Wittgenstein
completed work on the 'Tractatus'. This important record of a
philosophical friendship is complemented by a scholarly apparatus
and an introduction. Other essays featured in this volume document
and discuss Wittgenstein's thinking on music and religion as well
as issues that take center stage in the 'Investigations' such as
Wittgenstein's account of rule-following. The volume provides an
invaluable research tool not only for students of the history of
philosophy and for scholars of both Wittgenstein and Frege but also
for anyone interested in the intellectual history of the first half
of the twentieth century.
