Octavo. Second Edition, First Printing (Fr/McG: P.I., p. 44). Philosophical Investigations was in ever increasing demand within the philosophical community necessitating this second edition - just five years after the release of the first edition. In the "Note to Second Edition", Anscombe says that the text has been "revised" but that the "alterations on the German side have been few, and have been confined to mistakes in spelling and punctuation." She does say, however, that "a large number of small changes have been made in the English text" after which she lists the specific numbers of 22 aphorisms from Part I that have been changed and six page numbers identifying changes made to Part II.
