The Voices of Wittgenstein brings together for the first time in both the original German and English translation over one hundred short essays in philosophical logic and the philosophy of mind.

They are of historical importance to understanding Wittgenstein`s philosophical thought and development in the 1930s. Transcribed from the papers of Friedrich Waismann and dating from 1932—1935, the majority are highly important dictations by Wittgenstein to Waismann.Also included are texts of redrafted material by Waismann closely based on the dictations. Many of these texts became the ultimate sources of the material on the philosophy of language that constitutes the bulk of Waismann`s book Logic, Sprache, Philosophy (The Principles of Linguistic Philosophy).

These transcriptions throw new light on the development of Wittgenstein`s thought in this period and some of the topics are not covered in any of the existing publications of his writings, in particular his detailed attention to causal theories of meaning. They also contain texts covering psychological concepts such as expecting, intending and experience; these have no counterparts in Waismann`s publications.

The Voices of Wittgenstein is the only substantial corpus of Wittgenstein`s work that has been hitherto unknown and completely unavailable. It will be a major primary text for all scholars of Wittgenstein and an invaluable introduction to Wittgenstein`s `later philosophy`.
