From the rear cover
The nature of reason has always been a topic at the very heart of Western philosophy but the most famous philosopher of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein, hardly ever discussed it. His work, though, does raise crucial questions about the subject. These questions are perhaps closest to the surface in his critique of Frazer's Golden Bough, his discussions of various philosophical aspects of religion, and the famous 'rule-following considerations' from his Philosophical Investigations.
In this volume, prominent Wittgenstein scholars from the UK and continental Europe discuss these parts of Wittgenstein's work, as well as his oeuvre in general, and its implications for the nature of reason. The volume features a translation of an important paper by the French Wittgenstein scholar Jacques Bouveresse, alongside six new papers by other contributors.
The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of any aspect of Wittgenstein's work.
