Publisher Description Ludwig Wittgenstein, writes noted scholar Edward Kanterian, was a philosophers philosopher. He was one of the founders of modern analytic philosophy and is regarded as the greatest philosophical genius since Immanuel Kant. In this book, Kanterian traces the complex relationship between the philosophers life, his work and his time. The author describes Wittgensteins eventful life, his numerous trips, and his friendships with some of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century, including Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes, George Edward Moore and Gilbert Royle. Kanterian also presents a careful account of Wittgensteins notoriously abstract philosophical works, from his early masterpiece Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) to the Philosophical Investigations, published posthumously in 1953. The author makes Wittgensteins work comprehensible to lay readers, as well as offering original interpretations that further illuminate the writings. Emerging from the highly sophisticated Viennese upper class at the turn of the last century, Wittgenstein had intellectual and artistic aspirations going far beyond theoretical philosophy.In particular he took great interest in art and music, and during his entire lifetime was deeply tormented by ethical and religious questions. There is something about Wittgensteins life and persona, the author believes, that captivates our collective imagination and seems to offer answers to the ethical problems of our own time. Kanterian sees Wittgensteins life as the focal point of important conflicts and tensions of an entire age. A readable, concise account that uses many telling quotations from the philosophers own writings, as well as numerous illustrations, this book will appeal to scholars and students of Wittgenstein, and the broad audience for introductions to philosophy. Author Biography Edward Kanterian is lecturer in philosophy at Trinity College and Jesus College, University of Oxford, and is co-editor of Wittgenstein and his Interpreters: Essays in Memory of Gordon Baker (2006).
