James M. Thompson: Wittgenstein on Phenomenology and Experience: An Investigation of Wittgenstein's 'Middle' Period (2008)
One of the most significant areas within Wittgenstein research involves the question of (dis)continuity. It has long been a point of bitter contention, whether or not a particular line of thought or even general idea runs through all of Wittgenstein’s works. However, the publication of the Nachlass materials within the last decade has opened up new avenues of investigation as well as allowed for a more comprehensive and critical treatment of this issue. This book approaches the (dis)continuity question by examining Wittgenstein’s concept of experience from the Tractatus through until the Philosophical Investigations. One of the fundamental claims of the book is that by tracing his conception of experience as it relates to language, one is able to account for the so-called “shifts” in his thought – the most extraordinary of which is Wittgenstein’s development of a phenomenology upon his return to Cambridge in 1929.

Kali Charan Pandey (ed.): Ludwig Wittgenstein: Ethics and Religion (2008)
Kali Charan Pandey (ed.): Ludwig Wittgenstein: Ethics and Religion is a collection of essays of well-known Indian Wittgensteinians. It is a critical exposition of multiple facets of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s thoughts in Ethics and Religion. It brings out foundations of Wittgenstein’s views on ethics and religion. It deals with various issues of current debates in the Philosophy of Wittgenstein such as notion of transcendental ethics, dichotomy between fact and value, distinction between religious and superstitious beliefs, notion of happiness and human being, discussions on Wittgensteinian Fideism, whether Wittgenstein’s methodology was Christian or Jew, Wittgenstein’s religious thoughts in the context of Logical Positivism and Habbermas. It is useful not only for students of Philosophy and Theology but also for a general reader who is interested in an in-depth analysis of the realm of meta-ethics and religious philosophy of language.
Nana Last: Wittgenstein's House: Language, Space and Architecture (2008)
Nana Last’s recently published text Wittgenstein’s House is a noteworthy synthesis of Wittgenstein's philosophy with the subject of architecture. In this text Last describes Wittgenstein's writing as inherently spatial in both his early and late work. She argues that the apparent transition from the Tratatus to the Philosophical Investigations was directly influenced by Wittgenstein's engagement with architecture in the design and building of the Kundmanngasse. This shift in his later work, as Last explains, replaces idealism and solipsism found in his earlier work, and was one that actually allowed for multiplicity in 'spatial territory' as opposed to any essentialist definition.
