Lars Hertzberg is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at bo Akademi University, Finland.
Hertzberg’s philosophical voice is highly distinctive. This volume is a wonderful demonstration of what will be involved in seriously taking on key strands in Wittgenstein’s later thought, and of the way in which this calls for a more radical transformation in our conception of philosophy than is generally recognized even in the most sympathetic Wittgenstein scholarship.’ —David Cockburn, Emeritus Professor, University of Wales, UK ‘Lars Hertzberg is an internationally well-known and highly respected Wittgensteinian philosopher who has played a very important role in Wittgensteinian philosophy in Scandinavia. Although he might be too modest to admit it, he has developed a unique style of Wittgensteinian philosophy that combines calm, non-technical but detailed discussion of language use with a sensitive and acute ear to moral questions. Whilst it might be exaggerated to speak of a school of Wittgensteinian philosophy, his influence is clearly visible in the work of his students in Scandinavia. Without any doubt Scandinavian Wittgensteinian philosophy would not be what it is without the work of Hertzberg.’ —Oskari Kuusela, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of East Anglia, UK
