First edition in English, first impression, of the author's major work on the philosophy of mathematics, originally published under the title Bemerkungen über die Grundlagen der Mathematik the same year. Although intended as the second part of the author's Philosophical Investigations, this imposing and brilliantly edited work stands by itself. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, with dust jacket. Parallel text in English and German. Diagrams in text, some in colour. Spine ends and tips a little faded, dust jacket not price clipped, spine darkened, spine ends and rear panel a little chipped; a very good copy.
