“Good” Philosophical Reasons for “Bad” Editorial Philology? On Rhees and Wittgenstein'sPhilosophical Grammar.Christian Erbacher - 2019 - Philosophical Investigations 42 (2):111-145.details Using new archival material, this article reconstructs the editorial history of Philosophical Grammar, an edition that Rush Rhees crafted from Wittgenstein's papers. Contrasting the often‐held view that Rhees, in editing Philosophical Grammar, arbitrarily interfered with Wittgenstein's Big Typescript, the article illuminates the work, motives and reasons that underlie Rhees’ editing. Although recent philological evidence supports his editorial decisions, Rhees, at the time, made them based on his desire to do justice to his understanding of Wittgenstein's philosophical orientation.

Wittgenstein and G. H. von Wright’s path to The Varieties of Goodness (1963).Lassi Johannes Jakola - 2020 - Nordic Wittgenstein Review 9.details The development of G.

In 1952, von Wright published an essay suggesting a formal analysis of the concept of value. This attempt was soon abandoned. The change of approach took place at the time von Wright started his work on Wittgenstein’s Nachlass and tried to articulate the main (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
Wittgenstein Lectures, Revisited.James C. Klagge - 2019 - Nordic Wittgenstein Review 8 (1-2):11-82.details In 2003 I published a survey of Wittgenstein’s lectures in Public and Private Occasions.
