Since the middle of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein has been an exceptionally influential and controversial figure wherever philosophy is studied. The Oxford Handbook of Wittgenstein is the most comprehensive volume ever published on Wittgenstein: thirty‑five leading scholars explore the full range of his thought, offering critical engagement and original interpretation, and tracing his philosophical development. Topics include logic and mathematics, language and mind, epistemology, philosophical methodology, religion, ethics, and aesthetics, and the book also examines Wittgenstein’s relations with other founders of analytic philosophy such as Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and G. E. Moore. This Handbook is the place to look for a full understanding of Wittgenstein’s special importance to modern philosophy.
