The False Prison: A Study of the Development of Wittgenstein's Philosophy. Volume One: A Study of the Development of Wittgenstein's Philosophy. Volume 1 - Softcover
Synopsis
This is the first of two volumes which describe the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy from the Tracatus to his later writings. Part I of this volume is a survey of the whole of his work; Part II is a detailed examination of the central ideas for his early system. The second volume will cover later philosophy.
The book fills a gap in the literature on Wittgenstein between brief introductions and detailed commentaries. Although necessarily selective, the doctrines and ideas chosen for detailed discussion are those which reveal the general structure of Wittgenstein's work. David Pears has taken full account of the origins of Wittgenstein's philosophy and its relation to the philosophies of his predecessors and contemporaries. But the author's main emphasis is on the internal organization of Wittgenstein's thought. Philosophy students concentrate on the details of his work but often find it difficult to see their place in the general pattern. This book presents the general and the particular within a relatively constant framework, thereby making Wittgenstein's thought more accessible to students of philosophy and to non-specialists.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good +. Volumes One and Two of 'The False Prison: A Study of the Development of Wittgenstein's Philosophy'. Volume One: x, 202pp (Near Fine); Volume Two: ix, 541pp (Very Good +). No markings, annotations, or inscriptions. Internally fine. Text block top edges lightly dusted, with a few small marks to the fore edge of Vol.2. Negligible rubbing only, with a slight bump to the spine top, and to the front bottom corner, of Vol.2. There is no creasing at all to the spines. Thus: slight shelf-ageing to edges, slightest shelf-wear (principally to Volume Two), otherwise appearing to be unread. Note: there is a 'damaged' stamp to the title page of Vol.1, but the book is complete and as described. This volume was probably remaindered and withdrawn from stock - thereby remaining unread. ('magisterial' - Times Literary Supplement; 'profound, scholarly, and illuminating' - P. F. Strawson.). Seller Inventory # 2847
