Wittgenstein Ludwig - A custodian of grammar : essays on Wittgensteins philosophical morphology

Acknowledgments

First, I wish to thank Josip Lukin with whom I wrote the second, fourth, and fifth essay. Josip also reviewed all other essays and made many objections, suggestions, and corrections.

Besides Josip I also wish to thank Luciano Bazzochi, Boran Beri, Stipe Buzar, Carol Caraway, Newton Garver, Russell Goodman, Peter Hacker, late Wasfi Hijab, Borna Jalenjak, Jeff Jordan, Jim Klagge, Timm Lampert, Jonathan Lowe, Winfried Lffler, Ivan Macan, Daniel Miin, Damir Mladi, Karel Mom, late Sinia Ourak, Michael Parnham, Davor Penjak, Alois Pichler, Alvin Plantinga, Duncan Richter, Nicholas Rescher, Joachim Schulte, Neven Sesardi, Nenad Smokrovi, Ivan Spaji, Thomas Wallgren, and Anja Weiberg for their helpful critical comments and suggestions regarding these papers during their development and during discussions after paper presentations.

Thirdly, apart from previously mentioned philosophers, I must refer to Wittgenstein scholars from all over the world that I met during the last decade in Kirchberg am Wechsel, Austria at the International Ludwig Wittgenstein Symposium (sometimes referred to as Kirchbergians ). Discussing many topics with them on numerous formal and informal occasions regarding Wittgensteins later philosophy was of substantive value for the quality of these texts.

Next I wish to thank my students and colleagues at my home institutions, Philosophical Faculty of the Society of Jesus in Zagreb and Zagreb School of Economics and Management , for their assistance in times when papers were completed and presented.

For proofreading the text I am very grateful to Luna Poli, Heather L. Smith, and Ivana Buljeta Banks.

Finally yet importantly, I wish to thank my wife Lana and daughter Emma for their astonishing patience and humour during last few years (I suppose one never heard so many jokes on the account of Wittgenstein, his life, and his philosophical ideas in such a short period of time).
