No serious philosopher or student of philosophy can afford to neglect Wittgensteins work. Professor Fogelin provides an authoritative critical evaluation of both the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations, enabling the reader to come to grips with these difficult yet key works.Fogelin explains Wittgensteins attempt in the Tractatus to combine a picture theory of propositional structure, and also explores Wittgensteins own criticisms of the Tractarian synthesis. He gives particular attention to topics in the philosophy of language, logic, psychology and the foundations of mathematics, examining Wittgensteins work on these fields and arguing that Wittgensteins criticisms in these areas form the basis for a radically new standpoint in philosophy.
