In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

BOOKS RECEIVED 477 The manuscripts allow us to see something much more interesting and indeed philosophically important: a thinker at work. Here we can peer over Wittgenstein's shoulder to see him in his workshop. There may not be deductive clarity or finality here, but there is a continuous and tremendously exciting development on the pages before us. We see Wittgenstein framing good, bad, and highly suggestive thoughts and proposals. We see him reporting, then revising his reactions to conversations and to his conception of his earlier writings. We see him venting frustration, discouragement, hopefulness , humor, spite, and unclarity. In short, we see an enormously impressive philosopher philosophizing.
