With an extended preface and an added chapter on the 'New Wittgensteinians', especially for undergraduate syllabi that aim to cover the breadth of Wittgenstein's philosophical concerns, this new edition of Kenny's astute selections is required reading. \u003ci\u003eRichard Kortum, East Tennessee State University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSir Anthony Kenny\u003c\/b\u003e was formerly Pro-Vice-Chancellor at Oxford University, Master of Balliol College, Oxford and Warden of Rhodes House, Oxford. He was also President of the British Academy, Chairman of the Board of the British Library and a Trustee of Wittgenstein’s copyrights. He is the author or editor of more than 30 books, including \u003ci\u003eWittgenstein\u003c\/i\u003e (Revised Edition, 2006), \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of Western Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e (1998) and \u003ci\u003eThe Legacy of Wittgenstein \u003c\/i\u003e(1984), all published by Blackwell.  This popular collection of Wittgenstein’s key writings represents the breadth and complexity of the philosopher’s work. It follows the evolution of Wittgenstein’s philosophical thought from the \u003ci\u003eTractatus Logico-Philosophicus\u003c\/i\u003e through the \u003ci\u003eBlue and Brown Books\u003c\/i\u003e to his later work in the \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e.
