This book is a collection of 15 essays on important themes in Wittgenstein’s philosophy, divided into three sections. The first section is about philosophy of language, in particular Wittgenstein’s key idea of linguistic normativity. The second section is mainly concerned with important Wittgensteinian contributions to the philosophy of mind and action: his analysis of sensation language, the concept of understanding, the explanation of human behaviour and the concept of knowledge. The final section focusses on questions of value, mainly in aesthetics, but also in ethics and religion.

“Severin Schroeder is one of the leading Wittgenstein scholars of his generation. This collection brings together his best essays on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, aesthetics and ethics. They are gems, some of them difficult to access, that substantially advance both our understanding of Wittgenstein’s thought and of its topics. Schroeder manages to clarify and defend even highly controversial Wittgensteinian ideas in an exemplary manner. His limpid prose is an ideal medium for his profound scholarship and acute philosophical thought.” —Professor Hans-Johann Glock, Department of Philosophy, Universität Zürich, Switzerland.
