Pressezitat
"The essays...are scholarly, and profound, and also acute, confident, and full of good sense and judgment" (Colin Radford, Mind )"This book is a landmark in Wittgenstein studies, raising to a new level the criteria for an adequate understanding of Wittgenstein." ( Philosophical Studies )
"For someone who wants to understand, point for point and in detail, how Wittgenstein s later philosophy upsets the philosophies of Russell, Frege and the Tractatus , this is the book to read." ( Philosophical Books )
"[The authors ] interpretive essays develop with care, subtlety, and in considerable detail...they have performed a great service in presenting the programmatic views clearly, carefully and dispassionately."
--James Bogen
"Wittgenstein: Meaning and Understanding is a sort of compendium which I wouldn't want to do without. As a matter of fact, I cannot do without it, both in the sense that I need it to get all kinds of historical or philological information, as well as philosophical stimulation, and in the sense that I have become addicted to the book s magisterial way of bringing out and dealing with the difficulties of Wittgenstein's masterpiece."
--Joachim Schulte, University of Bielefeld
