"The authors showed in the first volume that they had in full measure the combination of scholarship and philosophical excellence needed to expound and illuminate the intricacies of the text. That combination is apparent on every page of the present work." - BEDE RUNDLE , Philosophical Investigations. "This second volume has all the scholarly virtues of its predecessor . It is imbued with massive learning . The exegeses are accurate. The essays usefully distinguish the different threads in Wittgenstein's discussion; they explicate the most significant of the relevant concepts , and they explain the philosophical importance of the issues involved." - MALCOLM BUDD, Philosophical Books. 700 gr.
