Rezensionen

Review from previous edition A highly interesting contribution to the debate on Wittgenstein's philosophy... [McGinn] has done an important job in showing how a reading that accepts as its starting point Diamond's critique of the traditional interpretation is perfectly capable indeed, well positioned to describe the Tractatus as a contribution to logic and the philosophy of logic... with respect to its elucidation of the Tractatus' views on logic, McGinn's book is pretty much the book on Wittgenstein's early philosophy I always wanted to read as a student, but was never able to find... Happily, the book did not come too late for me, and it is certainly not only recommended reading for students. Not only did I learn a great deal from this book, but reading it was also a pleasure.
