This book attempts to explicate and expand upon Frank Ramsey''s notion of the realistic spirit. In so doing, it provides a systematic reading of his work, and demonstrates the extent of Ramsey''s genius as evinced by both his responses to the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and the impact he had on Wittgenstein''s later philosophical insights.
