Presenting philosophical portraits of Rhees, Anscombe and von Wright, a team of international contributors provide a history of their collaboration and discuss how the individual philosophical views of the literary heirs shaped what we now know as the works of Wittgenstein. They consider the link between philosophically relevant aspects of their biography, their friendship with Wittgenstein and the development of their philosophical personalities, offering us a new appreciation of the dynamics of their editorial collaboration and how each of the heirs worked individually as an editor to create Wittgenstein's philosophy.

Their influence on the reception of Wittgenstein’s philosophy has been both far-reaching and almost entirely invisible; this book makes it possible for us to appreciate and critically engage with their contribution to that legacy. * David Stern, Professor of Philosophy, University of Iowa, USA *\u003cbr\u003eTo fully comprehend our understanding of Wittgenstein we need to appreciate the choices his editors made, as well as the interactions between them and relevant developments in their own lives. This book helps with precisely that and offers lucid insights into how any editing shapes the reception and understanding of the edited. * Alois Pichler, Head of Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen, Norway *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABBREVIATIONS  1.
