An original contribution to Wittgenstein scholarship that will interest both those who are curious about Wittgenstein's life as well as how it might have influenced his thinking and those who are interested only in the think-ing itself. It is clearly written, carefully researched . . . instructive, and a pleasure to read. . . It is refreshing, also, to see a novel approach to material that has been written about so much before. -Duncan Richter, Philosophical Investigations As is to be expected, the marvel of Klagge's forty-some years of original scholarship in Wittgenstein Studies...takes centre stage in Wittgenstein's Artillery....Klagge offers his readers a very unusual perspective on how to tackle material that all too often seems impenetrable ....[T]here is much to admire, to debate, to generate surprise and even some discomfort: Wittgenstein's Artillery is astonishing both for its scholarship and its courage. -MIND An insightful exploration . . . Klagge thoroughly analyses Wittgenstein's views on and uses of poetry and argues that this art form is central to his way of doing philosophy . . . This book will therefore be of great use to anyone interested in Wittgenstein and poetry and, to a wider extent, in Wittgenstein's way of doing philosophy. -Nordic Wittgenstein Review
