“This is an outstanding collection of Glock’s essays on Wittgenstein. They are written with exemplary clarity and methodological self-consciousness, illuminating major themes in Wittgenstein’s philosophy and highlighting difficulties. This volume constitutes a permanent and invaluable contribution to both analytic philosophy and Wittgenstein studies.”—P. M. S. Hacker, St John’s College, Oxford, UK. “I can’t think of anyone who has contributed more to our understanding of Wittgenstein’s philosophy than Hanjo Glock. Although I’m greatly looking forward to reengaging with this collection of his essays, I don’t need to do that in order to be confident of the education and pleasure I will receive from it, and I can already recommend, in the strongest possible terms, that any philosopher should study it very carefully.” —Paul Horwich, New York University, USA. “The very well-argued and enjoyable essays in this collection present some of the most important highlights of Glock’s take on Wittgenstein’s philosophy. His approach is always balanced, supremely well informed, and continues successfully to present Wittgenstein’s work as of central and enduring importance to modern philosophy.”—John Preston, University of Reading, UK.
