Ludwig Wittgenstein
In the safety of his manuscripts, Ludwig Wittgenstein was free to endlessly revise, rework and reframe his philosophical thoughts. Thus his published work yields a glimpse of just a small portion of Wittgenstein's philosophical thought-the portion...

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), philosophy is a “battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.” This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein’s thought and his place in the history of philosophy. Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge,

Ludwig Wittgenstein - Geniets Plikt
Ray Monk låter oss följa Wittgenstein genom hela hans växlingsrika levnad. Från uppväxten i den högborgerliga och förmögna familjen i det slutande artonhundratalets Wien - "ett laboratorium för självförintelse" - via de ingenjörsvetenskapliga studierna i Berlin och Manchester, de komplicerade vänskapsrelationerna till Bertrand Russell, J M Keynes och G E Moore - Monk berättar historien om hur den odrägligt intensive unge Wittgenstein fick Russell att söka igenom sitt arbetsrum för att bevisa att där inte fanns någon noshörning - till den dödslängtan som fick honom att uppsöka första världskrigets skyttegravar och arbeta som sjukvårdare under blitzen i London. Monk skildrar också Wittgensteins misslyckade försök att bli folkskollärare, hans förakt för den akademiska filosofin och dess förvaltare, hur han för att finna arbetsro uppsöker ensliga platser i Norge - där han i Skjolden, i det inre av Sognefjord, bygger sig en hytte - och på Irland, hans planer på att emigrera till Sovjet. Driven av en moralisk och intellektuell kompromisslöshet utan motstycke kom Wittgenstein inte bara att leva ett egensinnigt liv, hans radikala ifrågasättande av etablerade filosofiska sanningar har i grunden ändrat vår uppfattning om vad tänkande är och kan vara. "... utan tvivel den mest väldokumenterade och allsidiga framställningen vi har av filosofens liv och verk... Det är en utmärkt sak att vi nu har Monks bok på svenska och i en god översättning. Den kommer att öka intresset för filosofi i allmänhet och för Wittgenstein i synnerhet." /Carl-Göran Ekerwald Dagens Nyheter "En av de absolut bästa böcker jag har läst. Den kombinerar ett liv, ett mycket komplicerat liv som var denne Ludwig Wittgensteins, med hans idéer och filosofi. Läser man boken får man en inblick i det han har gjort som filosof och samtidigt ser man detta Europa han levde i. Han dog i början av femtiotalet och levde alltså i ett sammanbrytande Habsburgvälde, i ett England där Bertrand Russell sprang runt och jagade flickor medan Wittgenstein hade en annan läggning. Allt detta är serverat på ett jättefint sätt. Det visar att liv och verk med nödvändighet hänger ihop." /Pierre Guilliet de Monthoux, Vetandets värld

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Ludwig Wittgenstein's influential Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus explores the assumption that it is philosophy's task to 'sanitize' language. Therefore, it is necessary for philosophy to develop an artificial language that avoids the pitfalls of ordinary language. This is the only philosophical work Wittgenstein published in his lifetime. Laid out in succinct well-numbered paragraph, it is an essential read for those interested in the philosophy of language or understanding the influential figure of Wittgenstein.
Movements of Thought
While the published works of Ludwig Wittgenstein reveal the final, coalesced thoughts of this philosophical giant, Wittgenstein’s diary reveals his process of doing philosophy. Only in his private writing does Wittgenstein's philosophical practice fully come to light. Wittgenstein’s diary entries from the 1930s reveal themselves as a first-person spiritual epic. Wittgenstein agonizes over his relationship with Marguerite Respinger and tries to come to terms with its failure. He relates and interprets several of his dreams. He comments on his philosophical colleagues Frank Ramsey and G.E. Moore; on musicians such as Beethoven, Bruckner and Brahms; and on authors such as Kraus, Mann, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Kierkegaard. He struggles to make confessions to friends and family. He relates in painful detail his spiritual crisis in Norway in the late winter of 1937. From a man who once recommended silence about spiritual matters, we find here an honest and searing articulation of his
