by Michael Beaney (Editor), Brendan Harrington (Editor), Dominic Shaw (Editor)

This volume brings together new essays that consider Wittgenstein's treatment of the phenomenon of aspect perception in relation to the broader idea of conceptual novelty; that is, the acquisition or creation of new concepts, and the application of an acquired understanding in unfamiliar or novel situations.
