    The idea of the Inner is central to our concept of a person and yet is far from being philosophically understood. This book offers a comprehensive account of Wittgenstein's work on the subject and presents a forceful challenge to contemporary views. Written in a non-technical and accessible style, it throws new light both on Wittgenstein's work and on the problem of the Inner self.

    1 THE PROBLEM OF THE INNER 2 THE WORLD OF THE SENSES 3 THE MYSTERY OF THOUGHT 4 THE MUSICALITY OF LANGUAGE 5 THE COMPLEXITY OF THE INNER 6 THE INNER/OUTER PICTURE 7 THE MIND, THE BRAIN AND THE SOUL
