Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1973, Sir Anthony Kenny's classic introduction to Wittgenstein was widely praised for offering a lucid and historically informed account of the philosopher's core concerns. Kenny's study is also remarkable for demonstrating the continuity between Wittgenstein's early and late writings. Focusing on Wittgenstein's philosophy of mind and language, Kenny closely examines the works of the middle years. He exposes apparent conflicts and then goes on to reconcile them, providing a persuasive argument for the unity of Wittgenstein's thought. This revised edition includes an extensive new introduction in which Kenny outlines developments in Wittgenstein scholarship since the book was first published and assesses Wittgenstein's influence in the latter part of the twentieth century.

Rezensionen
'Kenny's book remains the best general introduction toWittgenstein's work as a whole. Careful, clear, persistent inits pursuit of puzzles, but always stylish and accessible, it willtake even a beginner deep into the most difficult issues raised byWittgenstein's texts, while still being helpful andprovocative to advanced students and scholars.'
--Michael Morris, University of Sussex

'...Sir Anthony's remains the most useful criticalintroduction to Wittgenstein's life and thought. The updatedintroduction is more than welcome. Among students and, especially,teachers of Wittgenstein, the long-awaited re-release of thisclassic is cause for celebration.'
--Richard Kortum, East Tennessee State University
