Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein's wartime diaries have been unearthed in this first-ever English translation. Written under constant threat of battle, these searing and illuminating notebooks offer profound commentary on life and death. The translation, by Marjorie Perloff, presents the personal recollections of a young philosopher who grapples with the hazing of fellow soldiers, forbidden sexuality, and the formation of an explosive analytical philosophy in the face of endless brushes with death. This historic edition augments our knowledge of Wittgenstein himself, taking us on a personal journey to discovery.
