Books by Allan Janik

In Wittgenstein's Vienna Revisited Allan Janik expands upon his work Wittgenstein's Vienna (co-authored with Stephen Toulmin) to amplify a number of significant points concerning the genesis of Wittgenstein's thought, the nature of Viennese culture, and criticism of contemporary culture.

This work challenges the received views of both Wittgenstein's philosophy and fin-de-siecle Vienna. It re-examines the origins of his philosophizing and its meaning within the cultural context from whence it originated and from a contemporary viewpoint.
