Description
Wittgenstein s Whewell s Court Lectures contains previously unpublished notes from lectures given by Ludwig Wittgenstein between 1938 and 1941. The volume offers new insight into the development of Wittgenstein s thought and includes some of the finest examples of Wittgenstein s lectures in regard to both content and reliability.
- Many notes in this text refer to lectures from which no other detailed notes survive, offering new contexts to Wittgenstein s examples and metaphors, and providing a more thorough and systematic treatment of many topics
- Each set of notes is accompanied by an editorial introduction, a physical description and dating of the notes, and a summary of their relation to Wittgenstein s Nachlass
- Offers new insight into the development of Wittgenstein s ideas, in particular his ideas about certainty and concept-formation
- The lectures include more than 70 illustrations of blackboard drawings, which underline the importance of visual thought in Wittgenstein s approach to philosophy
- Challenges the dating of some already published lecture notes, including the Lectures on Freedom of the Will and the Lectures on Religious Belief
