Wittgenstein Understanding And Meaning Essays - Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Author:G. P. Baker, P. M. S. Hacker Published to widespread acclaim between 1980 and 1996, the monumental four- volume Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations has become the definitive reference work on Wittgensteins masterpiece. This revised edition of Volume I, Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning, which itself comprises two parts (Essays a... more »nd Exegesis §§1184), takes into account much material that was unavailable when the first edition was written. Following G.P. Bakers death in 2002, P.M.S. Hacker has thoroughly revised both parts, rewriting many sections completely and often proposing fresh interpretations. Part I: Essays now includes two new essays: Meaning and Use and The Recantation of a Metaphysician, while Part II: Exegesis §§1184 has been exhaustively reworked in the light of the electronic publication of Wittgensteins Nachlass. These revisions will ensure that this remains the essential reference work on the Philosophical Investigations for the foreseeable future.« less
