Description
Wittgenstein and His Times by Anthony Kenny provides a nuanced exploration of the philosopher's work and its context. The book delves into the contradictions of Wittgenstein's philosophy, examining the similarities between his method and psychoanalysis, and the influence of thinkers such as Spengler and Frazer on his thought. The book also considers Wittgenstein's relation to his time, highlighting his alienation from contemporary attitudes. Through a range of perspectives, including McGuinness, Nyiri, and von Wright, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of Wittgenstein's place within the intellectual landscape of his era. This facsimile edition of Wittgenstein and His Times presents a valuable insight into the philosopher's life and work, making it a useful resource for those interested in the history of philosophy.
