- New edition of the first volume of the monumental four-volume
Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical
Investigations.
- Takes into account much material that was unavailable when the
first edition was written.
- Following Baker’s death in 2002, P.M.S. Hacker has
thoroughly revised the first volume, rewriting many essays and
sections of exegesis completely.
- Part One - the Essays - now includes two completely new essays:
'Meaning and Use' and 'The Recantation of a Metaphysician'.
- Part Two - Exegesis §§1-184 - has been thoroughly
revised in the light of the electronic publication of
Wittgenstein’s Nachlass, and includes many new
interpretations of the remarks, a history of the composition of the
book, and an overview of its structure.
- The revisions will ensure that this remains the definitive reference work on Wittgenstein’s masterpiece for the foreseeable future.
