' Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself' WittgensteinWittgenstein overturned centuries of philosophical reflection on the nature of ' the inner' , of our subjective experience and of our knowledge of self and others. Traditional conceptions of ' the outer' , of human behaviour, were equally distorted and so too was the relation between the inner and the outer. This highly accessible account offers an illuminating introduction to Wittgenstein' s philosophy of mind and to his conception of philosophy, showing how Wittgenstein' s examination of our use of words clarifies our notions of mind, body and behaviour.
