FIRST EDITION, SECOND ISSUE. Half title + TP + [v] = Contents + [vii] = Acknowledgement + ix-xvii = Introduction + [xix] = Quote page + 1-124. Octavo. First Edition, Second Issue (Fr/McG: W.s lectures. Cambridge 1930-32, p. 46). First UK Edition of His Student's 1930-1932 NotesThis copy is identical in every way to the US edition - excepting only for the title page. For his first ever "Philosophy" course, Wittgenstein started by stating categorically the landscape of what lies ahead:Philosophy is an attempt to be rid of a particular kind of puzzlement. This "philosophic" puzzlement is one of the intellect and not of instinct. Philosophic puzzles are irrelevant to our every-day life. They are puzzles of language. Instinctively we use language rightly; but to the intellect this is a puzzle.While anticipating the mathematical emphasis that would be seen in his 1932-1935 lectures, this series is something of an "awkward phase" as Wittgenstein experimented with new ideas, but was not entirely willing to let go of his old style. That said, it offers useful and novel formulations regarding his philosophy of language, blending the future precision of the Philosophical Investigations with some familiar content from the Tractatus. Regarding the accuracy of these important and revealing notes, John King claimed - with Desmond Lee commenting - that:To the best of my ability I concentrated on taking down whatever W. said verbatim. I never made any attempt to find my own terms, comparisons or examples, nor to alter his words or their order. The effort of note-taking made such changes impossible, even if I had felt capable of making them. W. never dictated notes but treated his lectures and discussions as if he were doing so. Of course not everything could be got down, but I got down all I could. The difficulty lay in following what was often a difficult argument, with frequent digressions, harking back and repetition, and if he would often hesitate and pause before speaking it was in J.E.K.'s words from "his intense desire to pick just the right word or phrase for his purpose, or to choose the most telling illustration or example to convey his meaning. He must have the exact word or phrase; nothing else would do." [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 photo dust jacket with green lettering to the front and the spine.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 215 x 145mm; various paginations. WITTGENSTEIN IN CAMBRIDGE: LECTURES AND RECOLLECTIONS. All first editions, published between 1979 and 1981. A very attractive group in uniformly designed dust-jackets. Blackwell's relationship with Wittgenstein dates to the 1950s and their famous edition of the Philosophical Investigations. These three volumes, each with a photographic college scene to the jacket, are part of the 'third generation' of Wittgenstein publishing - the first being the few lifetime works; the second being the major posthumous works. Here we offer two volumes of previously unpublished lectures, dating from the crucial period when Wittgenstein began to develop his mature philosophy. The third volume is the singularly revealing collection of 'recollections' by those who knew Wittgenstein, including Hermine Wittgenstein, F.R. Leavis, M. O C. Drury and others. Near fine: all three volumes in excellent condition; very slight dusting to the top of the 1932-1935 lectures; all clean and bright throughout.
