This fourth and final volume of the monumental commentary on
Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations covers pp. 428-693 of
the book. Like the previous volumes, it consists of philosophical
essays and exegesis. The nine essays cover all the major themes of
this concluding part of Wittgenstein's masterpiece: intentionality,
inductive reasoning, the arbitrariness of grammar and the bounds of
sense, negation, methodology in philosophical psychology, memory
and recognition, willing and the nature of voluntary action,
intending, and the mythology of meaning something. Wittgenstein's
writings on some of these themes have been relatively neglected,
and the analytical essays on the topics of intentionality, the
arbitrariness of grammar, and the will shed fresh light upon his
characteristically original contributions to these subjects, which
are highly relevant to current debates. The exegesis clarifies and
evaluates Wittgenstein's arguments, drawing extensively on all the
unpublished papers, examining the evolution of his ideas in
manuscript sources and definitively settling many controversies
about the interpretation of the published text. This commentary,
like its predecessors, is indispensable for the study of
Wittgenstein and is essential reading for students of philosophy of
mind and philosophy of language. The completion of the Commentary
will be followed by a historical monograph entitled Wittgenstein's
Place in Twentieth Century Analytic Philosophy, which will give an
overview of Wittgenstein's achievement, locate his work within the
mainstream of analytic philosophy and examine his influence upon
the development of Cambridge analysis in the interwar years, upon
the Vienna Circle and upon postwar Oxford analytic philosophy.
