First Edition, Second Issue (Fr/McG: W.s lectures. Cambridge 1932-35, p. 46). Published from sheets printed in the US, making this the "second issue" of this important book. The First UK Edition of Student Notes - Taken at Wittgenstein's Lectures - 1932-1935"Language-games are a clue to the understanding of logic"Unlike Desmond Lee & John King's notes from 1930-1932, Ambrose's collection introduces a Wittgenstein who has decisively turned away from the Tractatus, and is now firmly committed to working out his "New Philosophy".The book contains five sections. It begins with an introduction by Ambrose acknowledging the difficulty of publishing an honest recapitulation of Wittgenstein's lectures from this period. With this in mind, the content of the first chapter - Part I. Philosophy. Lectures 1932-1933 - becomes more lucid. It ranges from oft-returned-to topics such as the translatability of colors and toothaches to intelligible and meaningful speech, to more unconventional topics like the relationship of the body to the ego.In her second chapter - Part II. The Yellow Book (Selected Parts) - Ambrose presents selections from a mysterious supplement to the Blue Book. The Yellow Book never underwent official publication and, even still, remains something of an object of Wittgensteinian lore [see item #41 above]. Published as a supplement to the Blue Book, the Yellow Book was intended to be a further elaboration and explanation of the ideas published there. The selection presented in Part II incorporates Ambrose's notes with those of her peers - Margaret Masterman and Francis Skinner - to provide a still-yet unpublished, but nonetheless important, work of the Wittgenstein canon. Part III is a composite of Ambrose's notes on Wittgenstein's lectures, 1934-35. The lectures begin with a short deliberation on the idea of "negation" in a language-game and the obscurities of facts that are facts but, indeed, that do not exist - an example of which being, "the chair is not green." From this point, these lectures orbit around the principle of negation and negativity, with additional considerations of mathematical propositions that deal with negation.Part IV offers notes on Wittgenstein's 1932-33 lectures on the "Philosophy of Mathematics". This was the first of two iterations of this course, the second being the basis of the Blue Book. Ambrose was one of the five notetakers selected by Wittgenstein in the second iteration of the course, and would go on to be instrumental in publishing the Blue Book. Here, Ambrose presents a framework that anticipates the ideas of the Blue Book, some of which were published there, some of which were not.

First US editions of these lecture notes by some of Wittgenstein's most distinguished students. "It was through these pupils that Wittgenstein's new ideas were transmitted" (ODNB). They were published simultaneously in the UK by Basil Blackwell, Oxford. "Wittgenstein's classes at Cambridge became legendary. They were typically held in his rooms in Whewell's Court, Trinity College, or in the rooms of a friend, and lasted for two hours. He spoke without notes, thinking on his feet with intense concentration. Questions were invited, and his classes often consisted of dialogue. His discourses, like his writings, were illustrated with a wealth of vivid imaginary examples, wonderful metaphors and similes. His themes throughout the 1930s ranged over philosophy and its nature, the philosophy of logic and language, the intentionality of thought and language, the critique of metaphysics, solipsism and idealism, the philosophy of mathematics, and, later in the decade, sense data and private experience, cause and effect, aesthetics, religious belief, and Freudian psychology" (ODNB). Alice Ambrose (1906-2001) worked chiefly on logic and mathematical philosophy and was one of the few students to whom Wittgenstein dictated his "Blue" and "Brown" books. The ideas traced in these formed the basis of his later philosophy as expressed in Philosophical Investigations (1953). Margaret MacDonald (1903-1956) worked in the fields of the philosophy of language, political philosophy, and aesthetics, alongside lecturing on ethics to Home Office staff. Desmond Lee (1908-1993) specialized in ancient philosophy. Frongia & McGuiness, p. 46. Two works, octavo. Diagrams within text. Original blue or green cloth, spines lettered in gilt. With photographic dust jackets. Extremities of second work rubbed; jackets unclipped, production flaw to first work resulting in misaligned spine panel, short closed tear to front panel of second work: near-fine copies in very good jackets.
