520    Although there is a vast amount of secondary literature on
       the Philosophical Investigations, comparatively little 
       exists which adduces exegetical arguments in favour of 
       particular readings of specific passages. The seemingly 
       disjointed structure of the book has often been taken as a
       licence to interpret its passages out of context, and 
       there has been a tendency to plunge immediately into 
       discussions about their tenability. In this collection, 
       distinguished Wittgenstein scholars approach the 
       Investigations with the conviction that careful 
       consideration of text and context is needed prior to 
       pronouncements being made on the philosophical 
       significance of individual remarks. Diverse exegetical 
       approaches are represented: while some believe that the 
       Investigations can be read as an independent text, others 
       maintain it is essential to look at the context of a 
       particular remark or variations on it in Wittgenstein's 
       other texts. The authors also differ in their assessment 
       of the philosophical value of their material. Some try to 
       show that careful interpretation reveals valuable insights
       in what are prima facie untenable passages. Others 
       conclude that certain remarks fail to resolve the issues 
       they address. This is the first strictly exegetical 
       collection of papers on the Investigations, and it fulfils
       a task no commentary could by exhibiting different 
       interpretive strategies in application to paradigmatic 
       trouble-spots. Therefore it is a major contribution to the
       understanding of the Investigations and of Wittgenstein's 
       thought in general. It is essential and fascinating 
       reading for those who are interested in this important 
       strand of twentieth-century philosophy.
