Kurzbeschreibung
Wittgenstein finished part I of the "Philosophical Investigations" in the spring of 1945. From 1946 to 1949 he worked on the philosophy of psychology almost without interruption. The present two-volume work comprises many of his writings over this period. Though some of these remarks appeared in volume 2 of the "Investigations" and others in "Zettel," the great majority, although of excellent quality, remained uncollected until 1980.
Über den Autor
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was arguably the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century. He was born in Vienna, but studied and practiced philosophy in Great Britain. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Cambridge from 1939 until 1947. He worked in—and transformed—the fields of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.
