Philosophical Investigations 4E

The fourth edition of Ludwig Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations" represents a comprehensive revision of previous editions and is regarded as the definitive bilingual edition in German and English. This edition includes significant editorial changes and a revised English translation that incorporates numerous adjustments to Anscombe's original translation. The footnotes from earlier editions have been integrated into the text to enhance readability. A newly designed section, previously referred to as 'Part 2', is now published as "Philosophy of Psychology - A Fragment," with all annotations numbered for easier referencing. Additionally, detailed editorial endnotes provide explanations for the translation decisions and identify references and allusions in Wittgenstein's original text. This edition also features new essays on the history of the "Philosophical Investigations" and the challenges of translating Wittgenstein's work.
