Wittgenstein: Biography and Philosophy [Paperback] [Jan 05, 2010] Klagge, James\n\nProduct Overview\nThis collection of essays deals with the relationship between Wittgenstein's\nlife and his philosophy. The first two essays reflect on general problems\ninherent in philosophical biography itself. The essays that follow draw on\nrecently published letters as well as recently published diaries from the\n1930s to explore Wittgenstein's background as an engineer and its relation to\nthe Tractatus, the impact of his schizoid personality on his approach to\nphilosophy, his role as a diarist, letter-writer and polemicist, and finally\nthe complex issue of Wittgenstein as a Jew. Written by a first-rate team of\nWittgenstein scholars including two published biographers of the philosopher,\nBrian McGuinness and Ray Monk, this collection will appeal to anyone with a\nserious interest in the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century.\nRead more\n\nDetails\n\n--Publisher \u200F : \u20-
