Severin Schroeder: Wittgenstein lesen

›Reading Wittgenstein‹ is a study guide to one of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century, Wittgenstein’s ›Philosophical Investigations‹ (1953). Providing a comprehensive survey of Wittgenstein’s life and works, the book acquaints the reader with Wittgenstein’s new conception of philosophy, a conception vital to the understanding of his novel methodology. This methodology is then demonstrated and explained through a series of exemplary text analyses each introducing a pivotal theme of Wittgenstein’s work (word and object; meaning; analyses and family resemblances; understanding; sensations; thinking, intending).
