Reviews for The Routledge Guidebook to Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations

"""This is one of the best introductions to the later Wittgenstein: it is accessible without oversimplifying, closely focused on central passages in the Investigations, and takes Wittgenstein’s way of writing philosophy seriously. It would be ideal for students reading the Investigations for the first time."" David Stern, Mind."
