About

I'm currently reading the Philosophical Investigations (revised 4th edition by P. M. S. Hacker and Joachim Schulte) and commenting in my blog as I go. I'd like other people to read along with me and to comment themselves partly in order to get a better understanding of the Investigations myself and partly because I think that it might be the way that the Investigations should be read As David Stern says:

"The Philosophical Investigations is a book that was written with an eye to being read out loud , and that calls for the reader to try out different ideas about what is going on in the text, ideally by discussing it with other readers. Frequently, people first become acquainted with the book by reading it with others in a class, seminar, or reading group, in which everyone can learn from the different perspectives that other readers bring to the text. But this process of collaborative reading and re-reading, attending closely to each detail, is hardly ever explicitly discussed in the existing introductions, which are usually about the interpreters results, not the process of reading the book. Because different readers will find very different things in the Philosophical Investigations, a group of readers will almost certainly explore a range of readings that any one person would be most unlikely to consider."
