This book presents and discusses the varying and seminal role which colour plays in the
development of Wittgenstein's philosophy. Having once said that Colours spur us to philosophize
the theme of colour was one to which Wittgenstein returned constantly throughout his career.
Ranging from his Notebooks 1914-1916 and the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the
posthumously published Remarks on Colours and On Certainty this book explores how both his
view of philosophical problems generally and his view on colours specifically changed
considerably over time. Paying particular attention to his so-called intermediary period it
takes a case-based approach to the presentation of colour in texts from this period from Some
Remarks on Logical Form and Philosophical Remarks to his Big Typescript.
