Features: Wittgenstein is one of the most famous philosophers in modern Western philosophy, with a profound influence. He is not only praised by Anglo-American analytic philosophers but also revered by some humanistic or postmodernist philosophers in Europe. His works are rich in meaning and content, but the language is obscure and difficult to understand. Numerous scholars have studied him and his works, primarily focusing on his two major representative works, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations. The author of this book is one of the most renowned experts in China on Wittgenstein. In this book, he approaches the subject from a completely new perspective, combining a large number of Wittgenstein's other works, not only conducting comprehensive research on linguistic philosophy but also on Wittgenstein's psychology, mathematics, and cultural philosophy. The book not only compares Wittgenstein's thought with that of Anglo-American analytic philosophers but also with the thought of European continental philosophers, demonstrating that in a certain sense, Wittgenstein's thought is a synthesis of these two major traditions.
