About This Book

Posthumously published work by Wittgenstein, in which he came to overthrow some number of his earlier ideas as published in the Tractatus.

Editorial Note

Wittgenstein's late masterwork dismantles his own early philosophy and invents a new way of doing philosophy: investigating how language actually works in practice. The style — numbered remarks, thought experiments, questions — is itself the method.
