Although there is a vast amount of secondary literature on the
"Philosophical Investigations", very little exists which considers
the exegesis of this text. The apparently disjointed structure of
the book has often been taken as a licence for interpreting
passages out of context. This collection aims to show how important
it is to consider the arguments which specify or authorize
particular readings of certain passages. The essays are by
Wittgenstein scholars. All approach the "Investigations" with the
conviction that prior to pronouncements of the relevance or
tenability of certain remarks one must always carefully consider
Wittgenstein's text itself and locate the puzzling passages in
their (immediate or original) contexts. Diverse exegetical
approaches are represented; while some believe that the
"Investigations" can be read as an independent text, others find it
essential to look at the context of a particular remark, or of
variations on it, in Wittgenstein's other texts. A debate emerges
as authors differ in their assessment of the philosophical value of
their material. This book should be of interest to advanced
students and teachers of philosophy.
