Wittgenstein's Investigations 1-133

First Published in 2004. One of the greatest works of twentieth-century philosophy, Ludwig
Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations is also one of the most
controversial. Wittgenstein’s Investigations 1–133 provides a clear and
concise introduction to the crucial early sections of this classic work.
Andrew Lugg discusses in detail what Wittgenstein says about
meaning, metaphysics and philosophy in sections 1–133 of the
Philosophical Investigations. Besides making Wittgenstein’s thought
accessible to a general audience and explaining its philosophical
significance, the book develops a radical interpretation of his remarks. It
takes Wittgenstein’s text to epitomize his philosophical outlook and
applies Wittgenstein’s philosophical strategy to his own words.
Wittgenstein’s Investigations 1–133 will be a valuable resource for
anyone interested in Wittgenstein, language and the history of twentieth#2;century philosophy
