Wittgenstein: understanding and meaning : volume I of an analytical commentary on the philosophical investigations pt. I Essays
Baker, G.P.
Hacker, P.M.S.
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 Wittgensteins masterpiece. This revised edition of the first volume, Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning, which itself comprises two parts (Essays and Exegesis oo1184), takes into account much materialthat was unavailable when the first edition was written. Following G.P. Bakers 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, and most of the previous essays have been rewritten and expanded. Part II: Exegesis oo1184 has been exhaustively reworked in the light of the electronic publication of Wittgensteins Nachlass. These revisions will ensure thatthis remains the essential reference work on the Philosophical Investigationsfor the foreseeable future.
