Wittgenstein: Meaning and Mind is the third volume of a four-volume
analytical commentary on Wittgenstein's Philosophical
Investigations, consisting of two parts. Part 1 is a sequence of
fifteen essays that examine in detail all the major topics
discussed in Philosophical Investigations 243-427. These include
the private language arguments, privacy, private ostensive
definition, the nature of the mind, the inner and the outer,
behaviour and behaviourism, thought, imagination, the self,
consciousness, and criteria. Published in 1990 to widespread
acclaim as a scholarly tour de force, the first edition of this
volume of essays provides a comprehensive survey of these themes,
the history of their treatment in early modern and modern
philosophy, the development of Wittgenstein's ideas on these
subjects from 1929 onwards, and an elaborate analysis of his
definitive arguments in the Investigations. The new second edition
has been thoroughly revised by the author and features four new
essays. These include a survey of the evolution of the private
language arguments in Wittgenstein's oeuvre and their role within
the developing argument of the Investigations, a comprehensive
essay on private ownership of experience and its pitfalls, a
detailed examination and defence of Wittgenstein's repudiation of
subjective knowledge of one's experience, and an overview of the
achievement and importance of the private language arguments.
Revised essays examine new objections to Wittgenstein's arguments -
which are found wanting- and incorporate new materials from the
Nachlass that were not known to exist in 1990. All references have
been adjusted to the revised fourth edition of the Investigations,
but previous pagination in the first and second editions has been
retained in parentheses. These revisions bring the book up to the
high standard of the extensively revised editions of Wittgenstein:
Understanding and Meaning (Blackwell, 2005) and Wittgenstein:
Rules, Grammar and Necessity (Wiley Blackwell, 2009). They ensure
that this survey of Wittgenstein's private language arguments and
of his accounts of thought, imagination, consciousness, the self,
and criteria will remain the essential reference work on the
Investigations for the foreseeable future.
