Later Philosophy of Wittgenstein

<p>'David Pole in his <i>The Later Philosophy of Wittgenstein</i> 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 <p/>'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</p>
