Synopsis

This revised edition of Sir Anthony Kenny's classic work on Wittgenstein contains a new introduction which covers developments in Wittgenstein scholarship since the book was first published. The book is widely praised for providing a lucid and historically informed account of Wittgenstein's core philosophical concerns. It demonstrates the continuity between Wittgenstein's early and later writings, and provides a persuasive argument for the unity of Wittgenstein's thought. Kenny also assesses Wittgenstein's influence in the latter part of the twentieth century.

Media Reviews
'Kenny's book remains the best general introduction to Wittgenstein's work as a whole. Careful, clear, persistent in its pursuit of puzzles, but always stylish and accessible, it will take even a beginner deep into the most difficult issues raised by Wittgenstein's texts, while still being helpful and provocative to advanced students and scholars.' --Michael Morris, University of Sussex '...Sir Anthony's remains the most useful critical introduction to Wittgenstein's life and thought. The updated introduction is more than welcome. Among students and, especially, teachers of Wittgenstein, the long-awaited re-release of this classic is cause for celebration.' --Richard Kortum, East Tennessee State University
