Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations is also one of the most
controversial. Wittgenstein's Investigations 1-133 provides a clear and
concise introduction to the crucial early sections of this classic work.

meaning, metaphysics and philosophy in sections 1-133 of the

accessible to a general audience and explaining its philosophical
significance, the book develops a radical interpretation of his remarks. It
takes Wittgenstein's text to epitomize his philosophical outlook and
applies Wittgenstein's philosophical strategy to his own words.
