Wittgenstein in 90 Minutes - Paul Strathern

"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." Ludwig Wittgenstein was a superb logician who distrusted language and sought to solve the problems of philosophy by reducing them to logic. All else - metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, finally even philosophy itself - was excluded. They were all wrong, he argued. "What we cannot speak about, " he declared, "we must pass over in silence." 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. The book also includes selections from Wittgenstein's work; a brief list of suggested reading for those who wish to push further; and chronologies that place Wittgenstein within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy. źródło opisu: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1822654.Wittgenstein_in_90_Minutes źródło okładki: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1822654.Wittgenstein_in_90_Minutes
