A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"The essays...are scholarly, and profound, and also acute, confident, and full of good sense and judgment" (Colin Radford, Mind)

"This book is a landmark in Wittgenstein studies, raising to a new level the criteria for an adequate understanding of Wittgenstein." (Philosophical Studies)

"For someone who wants to understand, point for point and in detail, how Wittgenstein′s later philosophy upsets the philosophies of Russell, Frege and the Tractatus, this is the book to read." (Philosophical Books)

"[The authors′] interpretive essays develop with care, subtlety, and in considerable detail...they have performed a great service in presenting the programmatic views clearly, carefully and dispassionately."
––James Bogen

"Wittgenstein: Meaning and Understanding is a sort of compendium which I wouldn t want to do without. As a matter of fact, I cannot do without it, both in the sense that I need it to get all kinds of historical or philological information, as well as philosophical stimulation, and in the sense that I have become addicted to the book′s magisterial way of bringing out and dealing with the difficulties of Wittgenstein s masterpiece."
––Joachim Schulte, University of Bielefeld

Quatrième de couverture :

Published to widespread acclaim between 1980 and 1996, the monumental four– volume Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations has become the definitive reference work on Wittgenstein s masterpiece. This revised edition of Volume I, Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning, which itself comprises two parts ( Essays and Exegesis §§1 184 ), takes into account much material that was unavailable when the first edition was written. Following G.P. Baker s death in 2002, P.M.S. Hacker has thoroughly revised both parts, rewriting many sections completely and often proposing fresh interpretations. Part I: Essays now includes two new essays: Meaning and Use and The Recantation of a Metaphysician , while Part II: Exegesis §§1 184 has been exhaustively reworked in the light of the electronic publication of Wittgenstein s Nachlass. These revisions will ensure that this remains the essential reference work on the Philosophical Investigations for the foreseeable future.
