The Later Philosophy of Wittgenstein

David Pole, in his The Later Philosophy of Wittgenstein , makes an admirable attempt to clarify the central points of Wittgenstein''s philosophy in a straightforward manner. He approaches it from the outside with sympathy and good sense. And since he combines a clear head with a fluent style of writing - a combination that is rare among the initiated - his book will prove an excellent introduction for those who need a succinct account of Wittgenstein''s later philosophy without any mystical overtones.'' - The Economist''There is now a real need for a commentary on what must in frankness be admitted to be an exceedingly difficult corpus of philosophy. Mr Pole''s little book is a response to that need; if small in bulk, it is rich in ideas. and all students of Wittgenstein will turn to it with gratitude.'' - Sunday Times>
