Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Occasions: 1912-1951 is a comprehensive collection of his key writings. Spanning nearly four decades, this volume brings together fifteen essential pieces, including the previously unpublished Notes for the 'Philosophical Lecture'. The text includes bi-lingual versions of those originally written in German, providing a unique insight into Wittgenstein's thought and methods. The selections are accompanied by short introductions, an index, and an updated version of Georg Henrik von Wright's The Wittgenstein Papers. This collection provides a rich understanding of the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy, its range of interests, and the broader context in which it was written.
