This book examines in detail Ludwig Wittgenstein's ideas on
thought, thinking, will and intention, as those ideas developed
over his lifetime. It also puts his ideas into context by a
comparison both with preceding thinkers and with subsequent ones.
The first chapter gives an account of the historical and
philosophical background, discussing such thinkers as Plato,
Descartes, Berkeley, Frege and Russell. The final chapter looks at
the legacy of, and reactions to, Wittgenstein. These two chapters
frame the central three chapters, devoted to Wittgenstein's ideas
on thought and will. Chapter 2 discusses the sense in which both
thought and will represent, or are about, reality; Chapter 3
considers Wittgenstein's critique of the picture of an inner
process, and the role that behaviour and context play in his views
on thought and will; while Chapter 4 centres on the question What
sort of thing is it that thinks or wills?, in particular examining
Wittgenstein's ideas concerning the first person (I) and concerning
statements like I am thinking or I intend to do X.
