"If the main function of a book like this is to stimulatereaders to thoughts of their own, then it succeeds admirably in itstask." (Scribd Feed, 1 December 2012) "Wittgenstein and his Interpreters is an exceptionallystimulating collection and a fine tribute to Gordon Baker, whosework on Wittgenstein leads us to see new aspects and to appreciatenew possibilities. The rich variety of approaches to Wittgensteinrepresented in this collection will enable readers to engage moredeeply with Wittgenstein's thought, even as they become awareof the wide range of alternative ways in which his thought can beunderstood." -Cora Diamond, University of Virginia "Gordon Baker was the most innovative and simply the mostimportant reader of later Wittgenstein of his time. Thus he richlydeserves a festschrift, and this volume is full ofriches." -Rupert Read, University of East Anglia "An excellent survey ... .The essays are important contributionsto the scholarship of Wittgenstein interpretation."(Philosophical Investigations, July 2009)
