Bøker av David (Professor of Philosophy Pears

This is the second of two volumes which study the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy. It covers the work that he did after 1929 and traces two lines of thought, one starting from the treatment of solipsism in "Tractatus", the other developing from the theory of language proposed in that book.

Divided into two parts, this book is the first of two volumes which describe the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy from the Tracatus to his later writings. It presents the general and the particular within a relatively constant framework, thus making Wittgenstein's thought more accessible to students of philosophy and to non-specialists.
