Recenzii

'I have read the manuscript with increasing admiration. I think this a very successful attempt to provide a concise introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy that is at once accessible and thorough. The book is lucidly written, and provides a clear overview of Wittgenstein's views and their relevance, without, however, shying away from the many difficult issues involved in Wittgenstein's thought. I especially liked the emphasis on the complex development of Wittgenstein's thought and the attention that is given to questions regarding Wittgenstein's methodology. In these two respects the book is unique among the many introductions that are available. The book is critical of Wittgenstein's views where it should be, yet succeeds in making a strong case why he remains such an important and fascinating figure in philosophy. For an audience with some background in philosophy I think this is an excellent work.' Professor Martin Stokhof, Department of Philosophy, University of Amsterdam
"An authoritative introduction to all aspects of Wittgenstein's philosophy." - Professor Robert Arrington, Department of Philosophy, Georgia State University
"An excellent overview of all facets of Wittgenstein's work. Highly recommended." - Brian Bix, Frederick W. Thomas Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Minnesota
"This is a clear, balanced, and very recommendable book that gives a good idea of the complexity of Wittgenstein's philosophy and the many questions it raises. It is useful not only as an introduction for newcomers to Wittgenstein, but also for people who want to compare Wittgenstein's reflections on philosophical issues with alternative non-analytical philosophical views, such as, for example, the notions of proposition and judgment as found in Hegel. The introduction to Wittgenstein's middle and later philosophy is lucid, and Addis' discussions, especially in Chapter 8, allow the possibility of a thorough interaction of his philosophy not only with Continental philosophy, but also with intercultural philosophy." -Jesper Garsdal, Philosophy in Review
