Dalla quarta di copertina

Published to widespread acclaim between 1980 and 1996, the monumental four volume <i>Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations</i> has become the definitive reference work on Wittgenstein&#8217;s masterpiece. This revised edition of the first volume, <i>Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning</i>, which itself comprises two parts (<i>Essays</i> and <i>Exegesis &#167;&#167;1&#8211;184</i>), takes into account much material that was unavailable when the first edition was written. Following G.P. Baker&#8217;s death in 2002, P.M.S. Hacker has thoroughly revised both parts, rewriting many sections completely and often proposing fresh interpretations. <i>Part I: Essays</i> now includes two new essays: &#8216;Meaning and Use&#8217; and &#8216;The Recantation of a Metaphysician&#8217;, and most of the previous essays have been&#160; rewritten and expanded. <i>Part II: Exegesis &#167;&#167;1</i>&#8211;<i>184</i> has been exhaustively reworked in the light of the electronic publication of Wittgenstein&#8217;s <i>Nachlass</i>. These revisions will ensure that this remains the essential reference work on the <i>Philosophical Investigations</i> for the foreseeable future.
