Not what I expected

3 stars

I like grammar and I like philosophy, so I was excited to read this book. I was expecting the development of a set of grammar rules specific to philosophy which would facilitate communication between students of different philosophies. From what I understand, Wittgenstein never prepared these writings for publication; they are a collection of his notes The first part consisted of very in-depth speculation about how we perceive and understand our surroundings and how we communicate. The second part was so filled with unfamiliar logic symbols I did not want to continue.
