The Best Biography of Wittgenstein

"For those of you who think I talk and write only about philosophers in the classical realistic tradition, you should know that I wrote my doctoral dissertation on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, specifically his concept of language games. I am a great admirer of Wittgenstein who, unfortunately, had a very tragic life. A brilliant, yet very disturbed, thinker, he died in 1951 at the age of 62. If you would like to read what, in my opinion, is the best biography of his life, click on the book title." J.D.

The mysterious agument solved?

In October 1946, philosopher Karl Popper arrived at Cambridge to lecture at a seminar hosted by his legendary colleague Ludwig Wittgenstein. It did not go well: the men began arguing, and eventually, Wittgenstein began waving a fire poker toward Popper. It lasted scarcely 10 minutes, yet the debate has turned into perhaps modern philosophy's most contentious encounter, largely because none of the eyewitnesses could agree on what happened. What actually happened in this now-legendary clash, and how it reflects the development of philosophy and the times, is what Edmonds and Eidinow set out to discover.
