Synopsis

The most wide-ranging and accessible thoughts of a philosophical genius, from his private notebooks

Throughout his life, Ludwig Wittgenstein reliably set down his thoughts in notebooks. This volume offers a selection of the most interesting and important of the remarks from those notebooks that deal with matters other than technical philosophical issues. In these pages, Wittgenstein reflects on religion, the work of philosophy, genius, music, architecture, and much more. Peter Winch's translation of Wittgenstein's remarks on culture and value presents all entries chronologically, with the German text alongside the English and a subject index for reference.

About the Author

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was arguably the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century. He was born in Vienna, but studied and practiced philosophy in Great Britain. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Cambridge from 1939 until 1947. He worked in—and transformed—the fields of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.
