All first editions, published between 1979 and 1981. A very attractive group in uniformly designed dust-jackets. Blackwell's relationship with Wittgenstein dates to the 1950s and their famous edition of the Philosophical Investigations. These three volumes, each with a photographic college scene to the jacket, are part of the 'third generation' of Wittgenstein publishing - the first being the few lifetime works; the second being the major posthumous works. Here we offer two volumes of previously unpublished lectures, dating from the crucial period when Wittgenstein began to develop his mature philosophy. The third volume is the singularly revealing collection of 'recollections' by those who knew Wittgenstein, including Hermine Wittgenstein, F.R. Leavis, M. O C. Drury and others. Near fine: all three volumes in excellent condition; very slight dusting to the top of the 1932-1935 lectures; all clean and bright throughout.

First US editions of these lecture notes by some of Wittgenstein's most distinguished students. "It was through these pupils that Wittgenstein's new ideas were transmitted" (ODNB). They were published simultaneously in the UK by Basil Blackwell, Oxford. "Wittgenstein's classes at Cambridge became legendary. They were typically held in his rooms in Whewell's Court, Trinity College, or in the rooms of a friend, and lasted for two hours. He spoke without notes, thinking on his feet with intense concentration. Questions were invited, and his classes often consisted of dialogue. His discourses, like his writings, were illustrated with a wealth of vivid imaginary examples, wonderful metaphors and similes. His themes throughout the 1930s ranged over philosophy and its nature, the philosophy of logic and language, the intentionality of thought and language, the critique of metaphysics, solipsism and idealism, the philosophy of mathematics, and, later in the decade, sense data and private experience, cause and effect, aesthetics, religious belief, and Freudian psychology" (ODNB). Alice Ambrose (1906-2001) worked chiefly on logic and mathematical philosophy and was one of the few students to whom Wittgenstein dictated his "Blue" and "Brown" books. The ideas traced in these formed the basis of his later philosophy as expressed in Philosophical Investigations (1953). Margaret MacDonald (1903-1956) worked in the fields of the philosophy of language, political philosophy, and aesthetics, alongside lecturing on ethics to Home Office staff. Desmond Lee (1908-1993) specialized in ancient philosophy. Frongia & McGuiness, p. 46. Two works, octavo. Diagrams within text. Original blue or green cloth, spines lettered in gilt.
