Book Description
Throughout his later philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein focused on a method called grammatical investigation. Grammatical investigation describes the use of our words for the purpose of philosophical clarification. Beth Savickey presents Wittgenstein’s art of investigation through a detailed examination of his philosophical aims and practices.
Beth Savickey’s book is one of the first to focus on and provide an original and detailed analysis of Wittgenstein’s grammatical investigations. She offers us new insight into the historical context and influences on his method, which will help Wittgenstein students and scholars alike to understand the intricacies and depth of his work.
Review
‘The author’s style is lucid. She is patient, clear and appropriately repetitious… Her writing will be available to undergraduates and hopefully recommended to all readers of Wittgenstein… The book is well researched…and will help others to locate themselves more easily among different approaches to Wittgenstein today.’ -- Judith Geneva, Colorado College
‘This book is an original and insightful contribution to the study of the Investigations. It provides a distinctive and illuminating approach to Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, which places the emphasis, not on the results it is intended to achieve, but on the techniques which constitute Wittgenstein’s philosophical method.’ -- Marie McGinn, University of York
