Abstract
As late as 1948, when he was making his report to the Literae Humaniores Faculty Board on the work he had done as University Lecturer since 1945, Friedrich Waismann listed three text books that he had ready for publication (one of them being the essays on causality printed in the present volume) and one book—as it might be “real book”—which he referred to as “Philosophy and Grammar”. That was his fi nal title for a work he had been preparing since 1929 and which was originally to be called “Logik Sprache Philosophie”. In 1948 that work will have consisted physically in a heavily corrected set of galley proofs, printed for Routledge and Kegan Paul (the publishers of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus). The print was set up in the unhappy year of 1939, the copy reaching the publisher on 25 July of that year.
