Beschreibung
This book of essays brings together the author's most recent reflections on Wittgenstein's philosophy as well as some earlier essays that seem worth preserving for historical reasons, as they involve information about personal relationships otherwise not easily retrievable by future chroniclers. It is the concluding complement of the author's previous two volumes of essays: Wittgenstein: Connections and Controversies (2001) and Wittgenstein: Comparisons and Context (2013), which together form a trilogy of collected papers that represent his decades-long endeavor to understand and give adequate description and defense of the thought of the first philosopher of his age.
