À propos de cet audio

Born in Vienna into an extremely wealthy and highly cultured family, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) grew up surrounded by art, music, and a disturbing amount of dysfunctional behavior. After studying mechanical engineering and developing an interest in aeronautics, he became obsessed with mathematics and logic, which led to his life's work exploring the relationship between language, philosophy, and reality.

In Simply Wittgenstein, James Klagge presents a fascinating portrait of this brilliant and troubled man, while exploring his two extraordinary books - the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations - in which he gave concrete form to his singular and perplexing ideas. Drawing on 30 years of teaching about Wittgenstein at both the undergraduate and graduate level, Klagge provides a clear and accessible introduction to these seminal works, helping the reader understand the revolutionary nature of Wittgenstein’s insights and the reason they continue to resonate in our own time.

I hovered over buying Wittgenstein's works because I wanted to experience them myself, I am in Lockdown in Italy so I have time! But I went for this first. It ia a pure gift! A true guide to the philosophy and the philosopher, and a perfect 'thrasher' through what can sometimes feel like the jungle of meeting a new philosophical text. Thank you. I still have the challenge of reading the texts myself ahead if me and I am much more equipped to do so. Bravo.

Excellent
