Constantine Sandis has been working on Wittgensteinâs approach to other minds for over a decade. This volume collects his best writings on the topic. It sketches a picture of Wittgensteinâs approach to understanding others which explains how his anti-scepticism with regard to the philosophical problem of âother mindsâ is not only compatible with but also supported by his scepticism concerning the real-life difficulty of understanding others (and vice versa). 

While each individual essay focuses on particular issues in Wittgenstein (including philosophical anthropology, interpersonal psychology, communication theory, and animal minds), they collectively paint a picture of what he takes the real problem of other minds to be, how to overcome it, and the limitations of our understanding. 

The book not only offers a fresh exegesis of Wittgensteinâs public and private writings on these matters but also proceeds to show the relevance of Wittgenstein beyond the remit of philosophy and the academy as a whole. These include issues in ethology, anthropology, AI intelligibility, psychology, and intercultural studies.
