Más información sobre el libro

Fourteen essays by leading schoalrs, including G. E. M. Anscombe, examine the relevance of Wittenstein's words and work to contemporary thought. In what way do they lead to a depper undersstanding of mathematics, language, religion, psychology, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences in general? What contribution can they make to current political thinking? Is Wittenstein a philosopher of relevance only to other philosophers or can he be a philosopher for other people? Wide ranging in scope, this volume provides fresh insights and new areas of inquiry in Wittegensteinian studies.
