Ludwig Wittgenstein

1958

Dictated to Cambridge students in 1933–35 and circulated privately, these two sets of notes mark the transition between Wittgenstein's early and late philosophy. Working through the bewitchment of our intelligence by language, the distinction between criteria and symptoms, and the multiplicity of grammatical roles, they develop the therapeutic method that would define the Investigations.
