This book comprises material on colour which was written by Wittgenstein in the last eighteen months of his life. It is one of the few documents which shows him concentratedly at work on a single philosophical issue. The principal theme is the features of different colours, of different kinds of colour (metallic colour, the colours of flames, etc.) and of luminosity―a theme which Wittgenstein treats in such a way as to destroy the traditional idea that colour is a simple and logically uniform kind of thing. This edition consists of Wittgenstein's basic German text, together with an English translation.

Intention is one of the masterworks of twentieth-century philosophy in English. First published in 1957, it has acquired the status of a modern philosophical classic. The book attempts to show in detail that the natural and widely accepted picture of what we mean by an intention gives rise to insoluble problems and must be abandoned. This is a welcome reprint of a book that continues to grow in importance.

This exposition of the "Tractatus" serves as an introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy as a whole—a philosophy that, says H. J. Paton in the Foreword, sprang from the modern development of mathematical logic. The powerful influence of Schopenhauer, Frege, and Bertrand Russell is evident in Wittgenstein's theme of the connection between language, or thought, and reality.
