The False Prison: A Study of the Development of Wittgenstein's PhilosophyVolume 2

The False Prison: A Study of the Development of Wittgenstein's PhilosophyVolume 2 by Pears, David. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198244868.

This is the second volume of David Pearss acclaimed study of Wittgensteins philosophy from the Notebooks and the Tractatus to Philosophical Investigations and other later writings. Dealing with writings from 1929 onward, Volume II provides close discussions of those doctrines and ideas that reveal the general overall structure of Wittgensteins thought. Designed to fill the gap in the secondary literature between brief introductions and long commentaries, The False Prison relates the general to the particular within a clearly delineated framework, making Wittgensteins difficult thought more accessible to philosophy students and nonspecialists.
