In this provocatively compelling new book, Michael Luntley offers a revolutionary reading of the opening section of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations

  • Critically engages with the most recent exegetical literature on Wittgenstein and other state-of-the-art philosophical work
  • Encourages the re-incorporation of Wittgenstein studies into the mainstream philosophical conversation
  • Has profound consequences for how we go on to read the rest of Wittgenstein’s major work
  • Makes a significant contribution not only to the literature on Wittgenstein, but also to studies in philosophy of language

Reviews for Wittgenstein: Opening Investigations
“Despite apparently underplaying the importance of the Tractatusin the genesis of the later philosophy, though, Luntley’s book is a very valuable challenge to any complacency we may feel about how to interpret the opening paragraphs of Wittgenstein’s great unfinished masterpiece.”  (Philosophical Quarterly, Advanced Access, 18 December 2016)
