Books by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Written in code under constant threat of battle, Wittgenstein's searing and illuminating diaries finally emerge in this first-ever English translation

In 1931 Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote his famous Remarks on Frazer's "Golden Bough," published posthumously in 1967. At that time, anthropology and philosophy were in close contact - thinkers drew heavily on anthropology's theoretical terms, in order to help them explore the limits of human belief and imagination. This is a translation of his work.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus may be the most important book of philosophy written during the twentieth century. Wittgenstein's writing style is clear, succinct, and accessible. Bertrand Russell claimed that "I cannot see any point on which it is wrong. But to have constructed a theory of logic which is not at any point obviously wrong is to have achieved a work of extraordinary difficulty and importance." Required ready for anyone interested in philosophy.

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, this was the only philosophical work Wittgenstein published during his lifetime.

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 - 1951) er en af den analytiske filosofis hovedskikkelser og forfatter til værker som "Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus" og "Filosofiske Undersøgelser"."Forelæsninger og samtaler" præsenterer for første gang på dansk en række vigtige forelæsninger og samtaler fra perioden 1929-1947. De omhandler emner, som var af stor betydning for Wittgenstein: etik, æstetik, psykologi, religion og viljens frihed. Bogen viser, hvordan han som forelæser og diskussionspartner præsenterer sin egen tænkning.Teksterne omhandler en række af filosofiens klassiske problemer, og de bliver diskuteret med fornyet kraft og originalitet i Wittgensteins fremstilling. Emnerne fylder ikke så meget i Wittgensteins øvrige forfatterskab, men det er i Forelæsninger og samtaler, de finder deres klareste udtryk.
