Twelve years after the publication of volume I, this book represents the final, and fruitful, phase of Wittgenstein's philosophical career, and shows one of the 20th centuries most important, and controversial, thinkers at his clearest and best. In the last years of his life, from 1949 to 1951, Wittgenstein's writings focused upon knowledge and certainty (collected together in "On Certainty), upon colour concepts (in "Remarks on Colour"), and upon the relations between the "inner" and "outer", that is, between so-called mental states and bodily behaviour. His writings on this third theme are gathered here for the first time. Wittgenstein's last weeks were a period of high creativity during which his thoughts were on a level with the best he ever produced. His variations on the classic philosophical theme of the relation between mind and body is no exception.
