From the publisher

Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations is a hugely important piece of philosophical writing, one frequently encountered by students of philosophy. Yet, there is no escaping the extent of the challenge posed by Wittgenstein's work, in which complex ideas are often enigmatically expressed.

Geared towards the specific requirements of students who need to reach a sound understanding of the text as a whole, the book offers guidance on:

- Philosophical and historical context
- Key themes
- Reading the text
- Reception and influence
- Further reading
