CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Wittgenstein: Lectures Cambridge 1930-1933 : From The Notes Of G. E. Moore by Edited by David G. Stern , Edited by Brian Rogers , Edited by Gabriel Citron
This edition of G. E. Moores notes taken at Wittgensteins seminal Cambridge lectures in the early 1930s provides, for the first time, an almost verbatim record of those classes. The presentation of the notes is both accessible and faithful to their original manuscripts, and a comprehensive introduction and synoptic table of contents provide the reader with essential contextual information and summaries of the topics in each lecture. The lectures form an excellent introduction to Wittgensteins middle-period thought, covering a broad range of philosophical topics, ranging from core questions in the philosophy of language, mind, logic, and mathematics, to illuminating discussions of subjects on which Wittgenstein says very little elsewhere, including ethics, religion, aesthetics, psychoanalysis, and anthropology. The volume also includes a 1932 essay by Moore critiquing Wittgensteins conception of grammar, together with Wittgensteins response. A companion website offers access to images of the entire set of source manuscripts.show more
