First published in 2005. Twentieth-century philosophy, more than that of any other period, has become deeply and sharply conscious of the connection between philosophical problems and language. We now seem to have entered what might well be called the Wittgensteinian 'moment' in philosophy. This volume seeks to provide a general survey of Wittgenstein's thought, considering both the Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus (1922) and the Philosophical Investigations (1953), and also to give some account of the influence which these two very different books have exercised.

Una guia fiel y concisa de la Critica de la razon pura, que se ajusta esencialmente a la arquitectura de la obra, pero que en el estilo y el modo de exposicion tiene en cuenta en todo momento la mentalidad y las motivaciones de un lector del siglo xx. Se trata de la mas clara introduccion al pensamiento teorico de Kant.

Cenfrandose en aquellos autores y obras que han tenido una influencia decisiva en la evolucion de la filosofia, justus Hartnack ha creado un manual conciso del pensamiento filosofico. De los griegos a Wittgenstein, pasando por el escolasticismo y la ilosofia moderna, este libro es un recorrido excepcionalmente claro y ameno por los problemas fundamentales del pensamiento.

Justus Hartnack provides a highly accessible, philosophically astute introduction to Hegel's logic--one of those rare books that rewards readers at any level of sophistication--and the ideal text for students about to embark on the study of this challenging topic.

While most interpretative studies of the 'Critique of Pure Reason' are either too scholarly or too superficial to be of practical use to students, Hartnack has achieved a concise comprehensive analysis of the work in a lucid style that communicates the essence of extraordinarily complex arguments in the simplest possible way. An ideal companion to the First Critique, especially for those grappling with the work for the first time. A reprint of the Macmillan edition of 1968.

A philosopher as great and at the same time as difficult as Wittgenstein has been the subject of innumerable studies, and universal agreement on how to interpret him cannot be expected. This is true of almost all great thinkers, past and present. That is why we still benefit from studies of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, or Hegel, to mention just a few. New studies and scholarly works on Wittgesntein will continue to appear. [A] reliable brief orientation to his thought is, if not essential, then at least a very useful way to begin a study of his philosophy. - From the Preface to the Second Edition
