Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology, 2 Vols

Wittgenstein finished part 1 of the Philosophical Investigationsin the spring of 1945. From 1946 to 1949 he worked on the philosophy of psychology almost without interruption. The present two-volume work comprises many of his writings over this period. Some of the remarks contained here were culled for part 2 of the Investigations; others were set aside & appear in the collection known as Zettel. The great majority, however, altho of excellent quality, have hitherto remained unpublished. This bilingual edition of the Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychologypresents the 1st English translation of an essential body of Wittegenstein's work. It elaborates his views on psychological concepts such as expectation, sensation, knowing how to follow a rule & knowledge of the sensations of other persons. It also shows strong emphasis on the "anthropological" aspect of his thought. Philosophers, as well as anthropologists, psychologists & sociologists will welcome this important publication.
