Wittgenstein's notebooks included reflections on all kinds of topics alongside the more strictly philosophical work—on the nature of art, religion, culture, and the nature of philosophical activity. Culture and Value is a selection from these reflections.

The new edition contains supplementary material which enhances the intelligibility of some of the entries in the original edition. It also includes all the variant versions to be found in the original manuscript sources (which are now given in detail).
