This volume discusses Wittgenstein’s work, as well as his
oeuvre in general, and its implications for the nature of reason.
* Investigates the nature of reason which has always been a topic
at the very heart of Western philosophy
* Analyses how Wittgenstein raised crucial questions about the
subject – most notably in his critique of Frazer’s Golden
Bough, his discussions of various philosophical aspects of
religion, and the famous ‘rule-following
considerations’ from his Philosophical
Investigations
* Contributors include prominent Wittgenstein scholars from the
UK and continental Europe including Hanjo Glock, Genia
Schönbaumsfeld, Severin Schroeder Joachim Schulte and Crispin
Wright
* Contains a translation of an important paper by the French
Wittgenstein scholar Jacques Bouveresse, alongside six new papers
by other contributors
