About the Author
Duncan Richter is author of Historical Dictionary of Wittgenstein’s Philosophy, Anscombe’s Moral Philosophy, Why Be Good?, Wittgenstein at His Word,and Ethics After Anscombe.
"A unique kind of guide. It will be greatly helpful to students and
others trying to understand one of the most significant and most
difficult philosophical works of the twentieth century. I only wish
a book like Richter's had been available when I first tried to read
the Tractatus."
*Cora Diamond, University of Virginia*
"Richter has done the world of Wittgenstein studies a real service.
His new edition of the Tractatus will no doubt be an invaluable
resource not just to students, but to their teachers as well.
Besides providing a judicious and transparent new translation,
Richter has assembled a wealth of signposts to prominent
discussions and controversies in the secondary literature on this
vexingly fascinating little book. I look forward to having my own
copy and keeping it close by."
*David Cerbone, West Virginia University*
"Professor Richter's annotated edition of the Tractatus contains a
new translation and an expertly curated selection from over 60
years of secondary literature interpreting and assessing
Wittgenstein's seminal work. It will be an asset to bewildered
students and scholars alike."
*James C. Klagge, Virginia Tech*
"Richter's new translation and innovative commentary offers both
students and experienced readers of the Tractatus a new way of
engaging with this difficult text. Unlike almost all other
introductions, which defend one leading interpretation and attack
the others, he draws on many of the best previous interpretations
of each passage in the text. By modeling how to engage with
Tractatus interpretation, Richter's book helps its readers to think
for themselves about the Tractatus."
*David G. Stern, University of Iowa*
