Publisher's Summary

"If we accept Wittgenstein's word for it," Paul Strathern writes, "he is the last philosopher. In his view, philosophy in the traditional sense was finished."

In Wittgenstein in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Wittgenstein's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world.

Unfathomably Bad.

This borders more on character assassination than it does a breakdown of Wittgenstein and his beliefs. Strathern clearly has no concept of what Wittgenstein intended, and quite obviously has an axe to grind.

You come away from this feeling embarrassed for Strathern, over how unprofessional and hackneyed this is. I've enjoyed this "X in 90 Minutes" series for the most part, but this is worse than useless.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
