Spanning the period between Wittgenstein's return to Cambridge in
1929 and the first version of Philosophical Investigations in 1936,
Piotr Dehnel explores the middle stage in Ludwig Wittgenstein's
philosophical development and identifies the major issues which
engrossed him, including phenomenology, philosophy of mathematics
and philosophy of language. Contrary to the dominant perspective,
Dehnel argues that this period was intrinsically different from the
early and late stages and should not be viewed as a mere
transitional phase. The distinctiveness of Wittgenstein's middle
work can be seen in his philosophical thinking as it unfolds in a
non-linear trajectory: thoughts do not follow upon each other,
ideas do not appear sequentially one by one, and insights do not
form a straight chain. Dehnel portrays the diffused and
multifarious quality of Wittgenstein's middle thinking, enabling
readers to form a more comprehensive view of his entire philosophy
and acquire a better grasp of his conceptual trajectory, complete
with the intricacies and challenges that it poses.
