Scope and content

This copy of the typescript has been heavily annotated by Wittgenstein up to p 292 and from 354 to 432. This and the following typescripts (214-218 ) consist of the content of ts 212 typed out.. The pagination begins with p 0. There is also an unpaginated list of ‘chapter headings’ marked ‘given by Rush Rhees Jan 1970’. There are a few annotations by the Trustees, particularly by G H von Wright throughout the sections on the foundations of mathematics which appears at one time to have been separated from the rest of the typescript.
