This volume discusses Wittgenstein’s work, as well as his
oeuvre in general, and its implications for the nature of reason.

at the very heart of Western philosophy

Bough, his discussions of various philosophical aspects of
religion, and the famous ‘rule-following
considerations’ from his Philosophical
Investigations
* Contributors include prominent Wittgenstein scholars from the
UK and continental Europe including Hanjo Glock, Genia
Schönbaumsfeld, Severin Schroeder Joachim Schulte and Crispin
Wright
* Contains a translation of an important paper by the French
