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)
