This lucid and accessible dictionary presents technical terms that
Wittgenstein introduced into philosophical debate or transformed
substantially, and also topics to which he made a substantial
contribution. Hans-Johann Glock places Wittgenstein's ideas in
their relevance to current debates. The entries delineate
Wittgenstein's lines of argument on particular issues, assessing
their strengths and weaknesses, and shed light on fundamental
exegetical controversies.
The dictionary entries are prefaced by a 'Sketch of a
Intellectual Biography', which links the basic themes of the early
and later philosophy and describes the general development of
Wittgenstein's thinking. Extensive textual references, a detailed
index and an annotated bibliography will facilitate further study.
Authoritative, comprehensive and clear, the volume will be welcomed
by anyone with an interest in Wittgenstein - his life, work or
influence.
Each Blackwell Philosopher Dictionary presents the life and work
of an individual philosopher in a scholarly but accessible manner.
Entries cover key ideas and thoughts, as well as the main themes of
the philosopher's works. A comprehensive biographical sketch is
also included.
