Description - Wittgenstein - Understanding and Meaning by Gordon P. Baker

This is a new edition of the first volume of G.P.Baker and P.M.S.
Hacker?s definitive reference work on Wittgenstein?s
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.
