This will reamin the definitive starting point for the forseeable future. Indeed, it must rank alongside the greatest contributions to philosophical scholarship (such as Ross on Aristotle or Vaihinger on Kant), since it combines, on a momentous scale, authoritative textual exegesis, philosophical insight, encyclopedic knowledge of the historical background and lucidity of expression. Hacker succeeds brilliantly in showing that these passages are essential to the discussion of language and linguistic meaning that is the leitmotif of the \u003ci\u003eInvestigations\u003c\/i\u003e. The chapter on mental states and processes provides an excellent interpretation and defence of Wittgenstein's approach to philosophical psychology, in particular of his denial that our psychological concepts constitute a 'folk psychology' that must be replaced by a more scientific alternative. Similarly, the chapter on will is the most authoritative discussion yet of Wittgenstein's fiendishly difficult treatment of that topic.\" \u003ci\u003eHans-Johann Glock, Times Higher Education Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote to the paperback edition viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations xviii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Intentionality: the harmony between language and reality (§§428 – 65) 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Justification by experience (§§466 – 90) 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The immanence of meaning and the bounds of sense (§§491 - 570) 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Mental states and processes (§§571 – 610 287\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The will (§§611 – 28) 349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Intention and recollecting one’s intention (§§629 – 60) 381\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Meaning something (§§661 – 93) 423\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 458\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403433648471,"sku":"9780631219873","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780631219873.jpg?v=1730483461","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/wittgenstein-part-ii-exegesis-428693-9780631219873","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
