Description

Wittgenstein wrote the Philosophical Grammar during the years 1931 to 1934 - the period just before he began
to dictate the Blue Book. Although it is close to the Investigations in some points, and to the Phiosophische
Bemerkungen at others, the Philosophical Grammar is an independent work which covers new ground. It is
Wittgenstein's fullest treatment of logic and mathematics in their connection with his later understanding of
'proposition', 'sign', and 'system'. He also discusses inference and generality - critisizing views of Frege and
Russell as well as earlier views of his own - and the treatment of mathematical proof in this book, especially of
inductive or recursive proofs, is deeper and more extensive than previously.

About the Author

Rush Rhees was a pupil of Ludwig Wittgenstein and is one of his literary executors.
Anthony Kenny is Master of Balliol College, Oxford.
