Fourteen essays by leading schoalrs, including G. E. M. Anscombe, examine the relevance of Wittenstein's words and work to contemporary thought. In what way do they lead to a depper undersstanding of mathematics, language, religion, psychology, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences in general? What contribution can they make to current political thinking? Is Wittenstein a philosopher of relevance only to other philosophers or can he be a philosopher for other people? Wide ranging in scope, this volume provides fresh insights and new areas of inquiry in Wittegensteinian studies.
