A COMPANION TO WITTGENSTEIN The most comprehensive survey of Wittgenstein's thought yet compiled, this volume of fifty newly commissioned essays by leading interpreters of his philosophy is a keynote addition to the Blackwell Companions to Philosophy series. Full of penetrating insights into the life and work of the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, the collection explores the full range of Wittgenstein's contribution to philosophy. It includes essays on his intellectual development, his work in logic and mathematics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and action, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, and much else. As well as examining Wittgenstein's contribution to human understanding in detail, the Companion features vital contextual analysis that traces the relationship between his ideas and those of other philosophers and schools of thought, including the Aristotelian and continental philosophical traditions. Authors also address prominent themes that remain current in today's philosophical debates, explaining Wittgenstein's continuing legacy alongside his historical significance. Essential reading for scholars of philosophy at all levels, A Companion to Wittgenstein combines engaging commentary with unrivaled academic authority.
This lucid and accessible dictionary presents technical terms that
Wittgenstein introduced into philosophical debate or transformed
substantially, and also topics to which he made a substantial
contribution. Hans-Johann Glock places Wittgenstein's ideas in
their relevance to current debates. The entries delineate
Wittgenstein's lines of argument on particular issues, assessing
their strengths and weaknesses, and shed light on fundamental
exegetical controversies. The dictionary entries are prefaced by a 'Sketch of a
Intellectual Biography', which links the basic themes of the early
and later philosophy and describes the general development of
Wittgenstein's thinking. Extensive textual references, a detailed
index and an annotated bibliography will facilitate further study.
Authoritative, comprehensive and clear, the volume will be welcomed
by anyone with an interest in Wittgenstein - his life, work or
influence. Each Blackwell Philosopher Dictionary presents the life and work of an individual philosopher in a scholarly but accessible manner. Entries cover key ideas and thoughts, as well as the main themes of the philosopher's works. A comprehensive biographical sketch is also included.
