£250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

An expansive publication gathering together Wittgenstein’s writings on philosophical psychology. Having finished the first part of his second philosophical masterpiece Philosophy Investigations in 1945, Wittgenstein turned his attention to the philosophy of psychology and worked on the subject almost without interruption from 1946 to 1949. The present two-volume collection brings together his writings from this period, elaborating Wittgenstein’s views on psychological concepts such as expectation, sensation, knowing how to follow a rule, and knowledge of the sensations of other persons.
