Opis

This volume collects P. M. S. Hacker's papers on Wittgenstein and related themes written over the last decade. Hacker provides comparative studies of a range of topics-including Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology, conception of grammar, and treatment of intentionality-and defends his own Wittgensteinian conception of philosophy.

Recenzje

Its previously highlighted strengths clearly recommend this book to the attention not only of students of Wittgenstein but of a wider readership.
