Abstract
Die erste zusammenhängende und gut dokumentierte Darstellung der Entstehung der PU stammt von Georg Henrik von Wright, der – obwohl einer der Erben und Verwalter von W.s schriftlichem Nachlass – seinerzeit (1953) nicht an der ersten Ausgabe des Buchs beteiligt gewesen war (vgl. von Wright 1986, 117–143). Ergänzungen und weitere Details findet man in der Einleitung und den Nachbemerkungen zur Kritisch-genetischen Edition, die ihrerseits fünf Fassungen unterscheidet und abdruckt.
