The work explains the structure and governing principles behind the exegesis, clarifies how the second edition’s commentary is built on the same approach as the first edition, and guides readers in interpreting core elements such as language, meaning, understanding, and the role of explanation. It is designed to support careful reading through detailed, chapter-organized analysis.","Wittgenstein: Understanding and Meaning  \nPart II: Exegesis §§1–184  \n􀀁  \nOther volumes of this Commentary  \nWittgenstein: Rules, Grammar and Necessity, Volume 2 of An Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations  \nG.
