The Brown Book has remained a blind spot in Wittgenstein scholarship, likely because Wittgenstein abandoned its German translation, describing it as “worthless” (nichts wert). This paper re-examines the Brown Book from a philological perspective by clarifying several textual and interpretative issues surrounding its transmission and reception. As one outcome of this textual examination, the paper suggests that Wittgenstein’s judgment that the Brown Book was “worthless” should not be taken at face value. This reconsideration of the Brown Book provides a basis for a better understanding of its place in the development of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, thereby offering a renewed perspective on the interpretation of the Philosophical Investigations.
