The work of Ludwig Wittgenstein is a strange product of hard reasoning and brilliant imagination, immediately captivating but deep and often difficult to fathom. Besides Wittgenstein produced not one but two highly original philosophies at different times in his life. Both must be understood, and reconciled; and it is a reconciliation as well as an exposition that David Pears offers in this book. He analyses Wittgensteins's two major works - the Tractatus Logico -Philosophicus and the Philosophical Investigations - emphasises their limitations as well as their merits, and sets his conclusion is that taken together the two books amount to something truly great , an achievement of the highest philosophical genius, which in spite of its frequent difficulty, never loses contact wit the thoughts and images of those who have not read any academic philosophy. David Pears is a tutor in philosophy at Christ Church Oxford. He collaborated with Brian McGuiness on a number of papers on Wittgenstein, edited and contributed to several collections of essays, including The Revolution in Philosophy and Freedom of The Will and is the author of Bertrand Russell and the British Tradition in Philosophy.

From the Back Cover:

The work of Ludwig Wittgenstein is a strange product of hard reasoning and brilliant imagination. Wittgenstein produced not one but two highly original philosophies at different times of his life, both of which must be understood, and reconciled. In this book David Pears analyses Wittgenstein's two major works, the 'Tractatus Logico-Philosphicus' and the 'Philosophical Investigations', and sets his conclusions against the background of the striking changes in the nature of philosophy in this century.

"Pears succeeds in conveying vertiginously difficult ideas in the simplest words."
ANTHONY QUINTON, 'Sunday Times'

"...I read it with fascination. The writing has that beautiful clarity which some philosophers achieve, and which gives me, for a few moments, the euphoric illusion of having understood an abstruse argument."
JOHN WAIN, 'Observer'

"This is one of the best studies of Wittgenstein that has yet appeared ... a subtle and intricate work, wide in scope and rigorously argued."
SPECTATOR
