The book brings together Constantine Sandis’s essays on
Wittgenstein’s approach to understanding others. Sandis sketches a
picture of how his anti-scepticism with regard to the philosophical
problem of ‘other minds’ is not only compatible with but also
supported by his scepticism concerning the real-life difficulty of
understanding others (and being understood by them). While each
individual essay focuses on particular issues in Wittgenstein
(including philosophical anthropology, interpersonal psychology, and
animal concepts), they collectively paint a picture of what he takes
the real problem of other minds to be, how to overcome it, and the
limitations of our understanding. Sandis not only offers a fresh
exegesis of Wittgenstein’s public and private writings on these
matters, but proceeds to show the relevance of Wittgenstein beyond the
academy.
