Reviews
A profound and illuminating contribution to the Wittgenstein corpus, combining scholarship and readability. Child's engagement with various theories and themes in Wittgenstein's writings, along with his attention to background and historical context, makes this an informative and immensely rewarding book. -- Robert Brice, Loyola University, USA A pellucid introduction in both style and structure, pitched at just the right level for higher level undergraduates. - Andy Hamilton, Durham University, UK

'This introduction to the work of one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy is both accessible and reliable. Child's lucid prose demystifies Wittgenstein's main ideas and makes intelligible the key transitions in his thought from early to late. Highly recommended.' - Michael Potter, University of Cambridge, UK 'A profound and illuminating contribution to the Wittgenstein corpus, combining scholarship and readability.
