Rezensionen

"This is a book that needed to be written and is well worth the effort to digest in full. ... it is an important contribution to Wittgenstein scholarship in its own right and pays careful attention to the field of psychology in a manner that no other book-length treatment of Wittgenstein to my knowledge has done ... . Readers with a particular interest in developmental and evolutionary psychology will also be richly rewarded." (Timothy P. Racine, Theory & Psychology, Vol. 30 (4), 2020)
