Octavo. First Edition. The English Translation of His First Attempt to Write a Second Philosophy BookThis behemoth of a book - numbering 1,040 'traditional' pages - offers the original German text along with the first publication of a facing-page English translation of "The Big Typescript" and included extensive footnotes in both languages. Wittgenstein felt it was important "that the thoughts in [this book] should progress from one subject to another in well-ordered consecutiveness" and he tried to manage this goal by organizing the material under nineteen different chapter headings: Understanding.Meaning.Proposition. Sense of a Proposition.Immediate Understanding and the Application of a Word in Time.The Nature of Language.Thought. Thinking.Grammar.Intention and Depiction.Logical Inference.Generality.Expectations. Wish. etc.Philosophy.Phenomenology.Idealism, etc.Foundations of Mathematics.On Cardinal Numbers.Mathematical Proof. Inductive Proofs. Periodicity. The Infinite in Mathematics. The Extensional Viewpoint. The wealth of insight and understanding that this book provides into the mind of Ludwig Wittgenstein during this early phase of his transition from the logic-focused philosophy of the Tractatus to his later language-based approach is immense. Because of this abundant and very clear presentation of his 1933 thinking, The Big Typescript has been acknowledged by scholars as one of the most important publications from Wittgenstein's Nachlass to date. [See our Catalog 24: Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Man and His Thought for a collection of 81 books and pamphlets by and about Wittgenstein.] Publisher's original dustjacket with white and light brown lettering over a photo of Wittgenstein on the front panela and similarly on the spine and the rear panel. Over the publisher's original black boards with gilt lettering to the spine. A fine copy. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. N� de r�f. du vendeur 1325
