Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Mathematics (Hardcover, annotated edition)

This volume presents Wittgenstein's views on mathematics, which he progressively elaborated during a lifetime's reflections on the subject. Divided into three parts, it corresponds to the three distinct phases in the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics. The first part is devoted to the "Tractatus" and contains a systematic construction of the representation of arithmetic in logical operations. The second part is concerned with the so-called "intermediate phase" (1929-33), which is characterized by strong verification and by a conception of the relation between the particular and the general in mathematics which forms the basis of Wittgenstein's later reflections on rule-following. The final section deals with the writings on mathematics in the decade 1934-44. The main themes of Wittgenstein's later philosophy of mathematics are understood as consequences of his considerations of rule-following.
