Book Description:
|
Ludwig Wittgenstein lodges in popular imagination as the modern Socrates, the master of enigmatic logic, the fascinating and attractive icon of modernism. But what did Wittgenstein really say? In Introducing Wittgenstein we meet a strange man, the rigorous logician who prized poetry above philosophy, who inherited a fortune and gave it away. We are also given a clear and accessible guide to his central works in this ideal introduction to a great 20th-century philosopher.
