Parallel German and English texts of perhaps the most important work of philosophy of the twentieth century and a turning point in the study of language, meaning and semantics. “The most perfect example I have ever known of genius as traditionally conceived” (Bertrand Russell). Although the bulk of the work had been ready for publication some years earlier, it was completed from the manuscripts, edited and published posthumously by Elizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001) – also responsible for the translation – and Rush Rhees (1905-1989).
