  • Kenny also assesses Wittgenstein's influence in the latter part of the twentieth century.

Wittgenstein Bewertungen

'Kenny's book remains the best general introduction to Wittgenstein's work as a whole. Careful, clear, persistent in its pursuit of puzzles, but always stylish and accessible, it will take even a beginner deep into the most difficult issues raised by Wittgenstein's texts, while still being helpful and provocative to advanced students and scholars.'
--Michael Morris, University of Sussex


'...Sir Anthony's remains the most useful critical introduction to Wittgenstein's life and thought. The updated introduction is more than welcome. Among students and, especially, teachers of Wittgenstein, the long-awaited re-release of this classic is cause for celebration.'
--Richard Kortum, East Tennessee State University
