The following table can be sorted according to
Most of the data below is derived from J. Klagge's "The Wittgenstein Lectures" in Ludwig Wittgenstein: Public and Private Occasions (
), pp. 331-367, where more details can be found. Naturally, another indispensible source of information are the lecture course editions themselves.
Please note that I have simplified the dating of the Cambridge Lent, Easter and Michaelmas terms.
