Abstract: Culture and value are the essential concerns of these remarks, hitherto available only in German as "Vermischte Bemerkungen." Although the passages date from various periods of Wittgenstein's life, over half were written during his later years, and this edition adds material probably written in 1944. The German text is presented alongside the English translation by Peter Winch, and all entries are presented chronologically, with a subject index for reference.
