Wittgenstein's Investigations: An Introductory Guide; "knowing How to Go On" - Paperback

by Jerry H. Gill (Author)

Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations is an important and challenging text composed as an "album" of remarks on a range of issues from how meaning is produced to what Philosophy needs to be in relation to language and perception. Undergraduates and first time readers need a reliable guide through the labyrinth of streets and alleyways of the city of language described by Wittgenstein. I know of no better navigator of this text than Jerry Gill. To pick up Gill's brief volume is to become a beneficiary of a lifetime of rich reflection on Philosophy, Language, Literature and Teaching.Christopher C.
