    Roderick,

    Can the layperson jump into this book cold, or will he need to have first read and otherwise be familiar with Wittgenstein’s works?

      Well, I haven’t read it yet (apart from my and my colleagues’ contributions), so it’s hard to say.

    Well, that clip was ridiculous in the extreme. If only if had been sayable rather than showable.

    I’m going to be like a kid at Christmas when this book comes in the mail.
