Critical Synoptics draws important comparisons between Wittgenstein’s synoptic analysis and Menippean satire—the first time this relationship has been described. The book presents a thorough introduction to Wittgenstein’s philosophy prepared specifically for students of literature. This literary approach will prove useful to philosophers too, as they seek
more effective ways to insinuate Wittgenstein’s teachings across the disciplines.
