Four volumes collecting Wittgenstein's writings from 1946 to 1951, partly intended as Philosophical Investigations Part II, and partly "upon the relation between the 'inner' and the 'outer', that is, between so-called mental states and bodily behaviour". Some of the Remarks were published in the collection known as Zettel, but the majority were not previously published. An important collection of Wittgenstein's later ideas, of interest to psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists as well as philosophers. Remarks (Bemerkungen über die Philosophie der Psychologie) was published in 1980, the first American edition, ISBNs 0226904334 & 0226904342. Last Writings volume 1 (Letze Schriften über die Philosophie der Psychologie), subtitled Preliminary Studies for Part II of Philosophical Investigations, was published in 1982, ISBN 0226904458; Volume 2, never published by the University of Chicago, is subtitled The Inner and The Outer: 1949-1951.

Synopsis:

Book by Wittgenstein, Ludwig

From the Back Cover: This bilingual volume - English and German on facing pages - brings together the writings Wittgenstein composed during his stay in Dublin between October 1948 and March 1949, one of his most fruitful periods. He later drew more than half of his remarks for Part II of Philosophical Investigations from this Dublin manuscript. A direct continuation of the writing that makes up the two volumes of Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology, this volume offers scholars a glimpse of Wittgenstein's preliminary thinking on one of his most important works.
