Description: Wittgenstein, Ludwig. Philosophical Investigations. Translated by G.E.M. Anscombe. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1953. Offered for sale is a copy of L. Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations—from the first edition, the first printing–surely the greatest philosophical treatise authored in the last century, and a work not soon to be equaled or excelled. In blue cloth, fading at the spine to black, this volume is in good condition. It retains the errata slip. The signature of a previous owner appears on the front endpaper; wear is apparent on the head and foot of the back-strip and the edges of the covers; the book opens flat at p. 196 (see fig. 14); neat and learned penciled annotations, affecting, I suspect, fewer than 5% of the pp. will be found throughout—though particularly in the latter half of the book; that reader's loose-leaf notes are laid in. Make me an offer. I supply free domestic shipping by USPS Priority Mail. International buyers should contact me for a shipping quotation before making a purchase. Please see my other listings: I am also selling a first edition of Wittgenstein's Tractatus.
