ON BEING WITH OTHERS Heidegger – Derrida – Wittgenstein
When philosophers talk about the external world, they typically populate it with small-tomedium-sized dry-goods: chairs, pens, desks, sticks, and so on. So our perceptual openness to the world is conceived, primarily, in terms of the disclosure of facts about such things. Yet much of our lives is occupied with far more exotic creatures, namely, living things, and particularly, living human beings.
Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889-1951 was an extraordinarily original thinker, whose influence on twentieth-century thinking far outside the bounds of philosophy alone. In this engaging Introduction, A.C. Grayling makes Wittgenstein's thought accessible to the general reader by explaining the nature and impact of Wittgenstein's views. He describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and gives a fresh assessment of Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought.

The Collected Works of Ludwig Wittgenstein contains the complete Wittgenstein corpus as published by Basil Blackwell. Most of the texts were written in German (and are included in Wittgenstein’s Nachlass), but were edited and translated for publication in English. The German texts are not included.
Saussure and Wittgenstein are arguably the two most important figures in the development of twentieth-century linguistic thought. By pointing out what their ideas have in common, in spite of intellectual sources, this study breaks new ground.
