Reviews

Overall, the essays in this book are characterized by a high level of scholarship and pedagogical relevance for researchers in the field of Wittgenstein studies and philosophy of education. It will be a worthwhile read especially for those who want to rediscover the study of Wittgenstein in a way that is not so self-absorbed in the exegetical debates around his life and work. Its focus on the critical application of Wittgenstein in professional and vocational education is a welcome breather that can make his philosophy more appealing to a wider audience of teachers and educators. —Lumberto Guce Mendoza, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of the Philippines, Philippines
