Last updated

Zettel (German: "slip(s) of paper") is a collection of assorted remarks by Ludwig Wittgenstein, first published in 1967. It contains several discussions of philosophical psychology and of the tendency in philosophy to try for a synoptic view of phenomena. [1] Analyzed subjects include sense, meaning, thinking while speaking, behavior, pretense, imagination, infinity, rule following, imagery, memory, negation, contradiction, calculation, mathematical proof, epistemology, doubt, consciousness, mental states, and sensations. [1] Most of the material in Zettel was taken from the manuscript which would later be published as Volume 1 of the Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology . [2]

Editions include a parallel text English/German edition, translated by Elizabeth Anscombe, and edited by Anscombe and Georg Henrik von Wright, first published by Blackwell (UK) and University of California Press (US) in 1967. [3] A 40th-anniversary edition was published by the University of California Press in 2007. [4]
