Consumate questions -- the edge of meaning

Keeping in mind that the early Wittgenstein intended to express everything clearly that could be said, though the most important things could not be said, they could only be shown, this book is a marvelous collection of just the sort of questions I suppose led him to change his mind. Each is thoughtful and leads no where -- which is precisely the point.

Buy This Book First

Before you buy one of the books on Wittgenstein's thought about philosophical psychology, buy the Philosophical Investigations and Zettel. Most of the notes in these other "books" are alternate workings of thoughts already expressed in better form in the Investigations and this volume.
