Reviews

'Overall, the collection is excellent - it includes interesting, well-written essays by notable Wittgenstein scholars … Stern's introduction is especially helpful in situating the book in the existing literature and debates, and may be of broad interest.' M. J. Moore, Choice 'For Wittgenstein, throughout his life, philosophy was seen as 'not a doctrine but an activity' … This philosophical unrest is exposed, analyzed and discussed throughout the book. … The present volume, then, does a great service for Wittgenstein scholars and followers - not only because of the depth and quality of the essays comprising it but also in reminding us what philosophy 'as an activity' may mean.'
