Originally published in 1919, this book is an outgrowth of classroom discussions. It contains in substance the talks on economics which have been made, for the past eleven years, to the author's classes in Cornell and New York Universities. The time has long since passed when a single volume can treat exhaustively the whole field of economics; designed as an introduction, this book will servce as a means to the end of a more intelligent study of economic questions and prepares the mind of the student for the thought contained in the more advanced and specialized works on the subject and the practical applications they reveal.
This work is intended to challenge Frege's Begriffsschrift as the foundation of philosophical work which either uses formal methods or is inspired by them. Whilst it is emphatically not a work of Wittgensteinian scholarship, it attempts the synthesis of the antithetical ideas associated with Wittgenstein, (1) the Picture-Theory, and (2) the language-game conceived as the ultimate level of explanation.

Sir James G. Frazer's The Golden Bough, first published in 1890, was the first work in English to understand the religion of classical antiquity in the context of primitive religion. Its dramatic impact on the history of ideas lasted well into the twentieth century, in its association of religious myths with the more primitive forms of ritual and magic generated by the 'savage mind', identified as a common misunderstanding of the scientific laws governing the natural world. This highly acclaimed biography is a comprehensive study of Frazer's life, the influences on his work, and its wide-ranging implications for modern anthropology, classics, cultural history and folklore.
