He left an unfinished manuscript published posthumously as _Philosophical Investigations_. W's philosphy takes a lot of study and requires background in the analytic movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Russell thought W was a genius. In fact, W was awarded a professorship based on his sole publication - Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - written in the trenches during WW I. --Michael ------------------------ Yahoo!
