Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology, Volume II cover

A significant body of work from a 20th Century philosopher

Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology is an English translation of Ludwig Wittgenstein's writings on topics such as sensation and expectation. Wittgenstein was an Austrian-British philosopher who taught at the University of Cambridge. Considered one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, he worked in the areas of logic and the philosophy of mathematics. This notable work features writings compiled by the philosopher between 1946 and 1949.

"Although the final remarks in this volume were written less than a fortnight before Wittgenstein's death, the work as a whole has all the forcefulness, originality and richness that characterise his greatest works. The remarks in this volume do not merely repeat points made elsewhere, nor do they merely supplement works already published. The volume incorporates genuinely new material that does a great deal to reveal both the subtlety of Wittgenstein's thoughts on subjectivity and the logic of psychological concepts, and the workings of his philosophical method."
