Summary

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an extraordinarily original thinker, whose influence on 20th-century thinking far outside the bounds of philosophy alone. In this engaging Introduction, A. C. Grayling makes Wittgenstein's thought accessible to the general listener by explaining the nature and impact of Wittgenstein's views. He describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and gives a fresh assessment of Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought.

A nice chianti.

Brilliant, if you like your philosophy read by Hannibal Lecter. Despite that, it’s a good book.

Wide coverage of the topic

Good intro to early and later philosophies. Later Philosophy particularly well presented. Final assessment of Wittgenstein’s place in philosopy quite critical but that was refreshing.
