Abstract
Abstract Wittgenstein’s discussion of Moore’s paradox in the Second Part of the Philosophical Investigations (II. x, pp.190-2) is well known. The remarks published in that book are mostly taken . from the remarks on the philosophy of psychology, but in these manuscripts the paradox is discussed at much greater length. In the version reproduced in the Philosophical Investigations the selected remarks are arranged in a different order and yield a chain of arguments which it is not easy to reconstruct.1 In the manuscripts, on the other hand, the thoughts are noted down in an unordered sequence, just as they came to Wittgenstein’s mind, but the investigation goes into far more details than in the Philosophical Investigations. In this chapter I shall leave aside the—possibly more cogent—later version and try to follow the thread of the thoughts recorded in Wittgenstein’s manuscripts.
