Description
In this provocatively compelling new book, Michael Luntley offers a revolutionary reading of the opening section of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations
Critically engages with the most recent exegetical literature on Wittgenstein and other state-of-the-art philosophical work
Encourages the re-incorporation of Wittgenstein studies into the mainstream philosophical conversation
Has profound consequences for how we go on to read the rest of Wittgenstein's major work
Makes a significant contribution not only to the literature on Wittgenstein, but also to studies in philosophy of language
