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.
* * New edition of the first volume of the monumental four-volume
Analytical Commentary on the 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.
