Ein Kommentar zu ausgewählten Passagen der ›Philosophischen Untersuchungen‹.
von Severin Schroeder›Reading Wittgenstein‹ is a study guide to one of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century, Wittgenstein's ›Philosophical Investigations‹ (1953). Providing a comprehensive survey of Wittgenstein‹s life and works, the book acquaints the reader with Wittgenstein‹s new conception of philosophy, a conception vital to the understanding of his novel methodology. This methodology is then demonstrated and explained through a series of exemplary text analyses each introducing a pivotal theme of Wittgenstein‹s work (word and object; meaning; analyses and family resemblances; understanding; sensations; thinking, intending).
