Description
Wittgenstein's thoughts on culture and value, as recorded in his notebooks, offer insights into his views on less technical aspects of his philosophy. The book presents a chronological selection of his remarks, with the German text alongside the English, and a subject index for reference.
Edited by Peter Winch, this collection brings together Wittgenstein's thoughts on a range of subjects, including religion, music, architecture, the nature of philosophy, and the spirit of our times. The result is a unique and thought-provoking work that provides a glimpse into the mind of one of philosophy's most influential thinkers.
With its clear and concise presentation, this book is an ideal introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophical ideas and their relevance to contemporary debates.
