Riassunto

The Second Edition of Wittgenstein: Rules, Grammar and Necessity (the second volume of the landmark analytical commentary on Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations) now includes extensively revised and supplemented coverage of the Wittgenstein's complex and controversial remarks on following rules.

• Includes thoroughly rewritten essays and the addition of one new essay on communitarian and individualist conceptions of rule-following
• Includes a greatly expanded essay on Wittgenstein’s conception of logical, mathematical and metaphysical necessity
• Features updates to the textual exegesis as the result of taking advantage of the search engine for the Bergen edition of the Nachlass
• Reflects the results of scholarly debates on rule-following that have raged over the past 20 years

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The authors showed in the first volume that they had in fullmeasure the combination of scholarship and philosophical excellenceneeded to expound and illuminate the intricacies of the text. Thatcombination is apparent on every page of the presentwork.
Bede Rundle, Philosophical Investigations

This second volume has all the scholarly virtues of itspredecessor. It is imbued with massive learning. The exegeses areaccurate. The essays usefully distinguish the different threads inWittgenstein s discussion; they explicate the mostsignificant of the relevant concepts, and they explain thephilosophical importance of the issues involved.
Malcolm Budd, Philosophical Books
