The accompanying Part I: Essays now includes two completely new essays: 'Meaning and Use' and 'The Recantation of a Metaphysician'; the essays: 'The Augustinian Conception of Language', 'The Language-Game Method', 'Contextual Dicta and Contextual Principles', 'Philosophy', 'Surveyability and Surveyable Representations', and 'Truth and the General Propositional Form' are redrafted and expanded, incorporating new source materials and new arguments, as well as taking into account debates of the last quarter of a century
The revisions will ensure that this remains the definitive reference work on Wittgenstein's masterpiece for the foreseeable future

From the rear cover

Published to widespread acclaim between 1980 and 1996, the monumental four volume Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations has become the definitive reference work on Wittgenstein's masterpiece. This revised edition of the first volume, Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning, which itself comprises two parts (Essays and Exegesis ��1-184), takes into account much material that was unavailable when the first edition was written. Following G.P. Baker's death in 2002, P.M.S. Hacker has thoroughly revised both parts, rewriting many sections completely and often proposing fresh interpretations. Part I: Essays now includes two new essays: 'Meaning and Use' and 'The Recantation of a Metaphysician', and most of the previous essays have been rewritten and expanded. Part II: Exegesis ��1-184 has been exhaustively reworked in the light of the electronic publication of Wittgenstein's Nachlass. These revisions will ensure that this remains the essential reference work on the Philosophical Investigations for the foreseeable future.
