Description: This lot consists of two books on the philosophical work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. You get: 1. Investigating Wittgenstein, a 326 page, 5.75"x9" softcover written by Merrill B. Hintikka and Jaakko Hintikka, and published in 1986 by Basil Blackwell (New York). It's in good condition, with a crease down the front cover, upturned back corners, several pages at the back with bent corners, an old price in pencil on the half-title page. From the back cover: "Investigating Wittgenstein offers a novel analysis of Wittgenstein's early philosophy in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and its gradual transformation into the later philosophy of the Philosophical Investigations. The authors present a radical interpretation of the Tractatus and argue that the objects of the Tractatus are but Russellian objects of acquaintance in disguise, and that the logically correct language assumed by Wittgenstein is hence a phenomenological one...." 2. Questions on Wittgenstein, a 149 page, 5.25"x8.75" hardcover written by Rudolf Haller and published in 1988 by University of Nebraska Press. In good condition: the dust jacket shows light rubbing, a small tear at the spine top, there's an old price sticker on the front flap. The blue cloth boards have minimal wear, there are no marks in the interior, and the binding is firm. SynopsisRudolf Haller is one of Austria's foremost authorities on both Wittgenstein and contemporary Austrian philosophy. In this book Professor Haller brings his experience to bear on a matter of vital philosophical importance: Wittgenstein's relationship to his Austrian predecessors and peers. The topic is one which is of particular interest to Anglo-Saxon philosophers. It takes a special feeling and familiarity with Austrian philosophy, however, to appreciate the subtle and profound influence which this cultural and philosophical setting had on Wittgenstein's intellectual development. Professor Haller has spent his career exploring these themes, and now for the first time, many of his most important papers on this subject are printed in English. The reader is thus offered a unique insight into the twentieth-century tradition of Austrian philosophy, and the influence which this had on Wittgenstein's thought.
