This series offers the core teachings of the world's greatest philosophers. Each volume extracts the essential ideas of a major thinker in a way that brings these ideas to life and makes them accessible. This book explores Ludwig Wittgenstein's approach to the issues of meaning, understanding, and language in a genuinely new way and argued powerfully that we need 'a new way of looking' much more than we need new knowledge. It explores the time in which he was making these radical suggestions and what affect it had on the world of philosophy.
