Wittgenstein Reader by Sir Anthony Kenny

This volume is the first selection of the key writings of Wittgenstein - arguably the emblematic philosopher of the twentieth-century. Assembled for students, The Wittgenstein Reader represents the breadth, complexity, and evolution of Wittgenstein's work, from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - which set his philosophical agenda - to the later work on ethics and religion. This thematic selection corresponds roughly to the chronological development of Wittgenstein's philosophical interests, beginning with "The Rejection of Logical Atomism" through to "Ethics, Life and Faith". Taken together, the selections are designed to add up to an overview of Wittgenstein's philosophical position, making The Wittgenstein Reader an ideal single text for course use.
This excellent selection of key passages from the voluminous writings of Wittgenstein for the first time allows him to be read systematically and continuouslyI am sure it will be invaluable in the classroom and give much pleasure and enlightenment to the general reader.
