Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His work has had a profound impact on various fields, including philosophy of language, mind, meaning, and psychology, as well as logic, mathematics, and epistemology. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Wittgenstein's life and work, covering his early writings, such as Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and his later philosophy, including intentionality and rule-following. Child also explores Wittgenstein's views on knowledge and certainty, as well as the legacy of his ideas in philosophy and beyond. With a chronology, glossary, and helpful conclusions to each chapter, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone looking to explore Wittgenstein's philosophy for the first time.
