This is a collection of essays which offer a systematic account of Wittgenstein’s philosophy of mind, and contribute to illuminating his later conception of human perceptive, emotional and cognitive language from both a theoretical and an historical point of view. The focus is on the fundamental categories of philosophical grammar, on the analysis of intentionality, of belief and Moore’s paradox, on certainty and doubt, on will, memory, sensations and emotions, and on the theory of aspects and private language and the relationship with relativism and psychologism. The book aims to provide the essential points of reference of Wittgenstein’s late treatment of psychological concepts in the context of the general features of his early philosophy of science and language, and in the framework of the trends of his time.
