✦ Synopsis

‘David Pole, in his The Later Philosophy of Wittgenstein, makes an admirable attempt to clarify the central points of Wittgenstein’s philosophy in a straightforward manner. He approaches it from the outside with sympathy and good sense. And since he combines a clear head with a fluent style of writing a combination that is rare among the initiated his book will prove an excellent introduction for those who need a succinct account of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy without any mystical overtones.’ – The Economist ‘There is now a real need for a commentary on what must in frankness be admitted to be an exceedingly difficult corpus of philosophy. Mr Pole’s little book is a response to that need; if small in bulk, it is rich in ideas and all students of Wittgenstein will turn to it with gratitude.’ – Sunday Times
