Produktbeschreibung
For the last 15 years of his distinguished career, Gordon Baker was developing an original and radical vision of Wittgenstein's philosophical method in the later philosophy, one which constitutes a significant departure from his celebrated period of collaboration with P.M.S. Hacker and which shares affinities with the 'New Wittgensteinians' but is developed in much greater depth. Following his death in 2002, Baker's collaborator and partner Katherine Morris has collected together and edited the key articles he wrote on Wittgenstein's method during this period, and they are published here for the first time in one volume. Of the thirteen articles contained in this book, three were previously only available in French, one was published in a Brazilian journal and one was previously unpublished. This volume covers a range of topics central to Wittgenstein's later work, from the private language argument, 'grammar' and 'use', to the conception of philosophy itself and its relation to psychoanalysis. Characteristically rooted in a fidelity to the text, these essays combine to provide a powerful revaluation of Wittgenstein's aims and methods in his mature work, from one his foremost interpreters.

Rezensionen
Gordon Baker, together with P. M . S. Hacker, was instrumental inthe elaboration of what has become the standard interpretation ofWittgenstein's later work. In a dramatic turnabout, in his lateryears, Baker came to the conclusion that that interpretation, whichhe had done so much to help consolidate, was fundamentally flawed,exegetically and philosophically. He embarked on the task ofputting forward a radically new interpretation of Wittgenstein'slater philosophy -- an interpretation which has seemed to some tobe a perverse dismantling of his life's work, while seeming toothers, myself included, to open up exciting new possibilities andto help put us in a position to better understand what Wittgensteinwas really up to. Baker was in the midst of developing this newinterpretation in a series of articles, when his tragic early deathbrought the project to an abrupt halt. This volume collects thosearticles. Any serious student of Wittgenstein's philosophy willwant to own this book. James Conant, University ofChicago

`The essays in this volume are replete with a wealth ofhistorical and linguistic detail. They contain the combination ofcareful textual exegesis and rigorous analysis which wascharacteristic of Baker's work generally.' Dr Mark Addis,International Journal of Philosophical Studies (2005)
