About this listen

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an extraordinarily original thinker, whose influence on 20th-century thinking far outside the bounds of philosophy alone. In this engaging Introduction, A. C. Grayling makes Wittgenstein's thought accessible to the general listener by explaining the nature and impact of Wittgenstein's views. He describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and gives a fresh assessment of Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought.

Brilliant, if you like your philosophy read by Hannibal Lecter. Despite that, it’s a good book.

A nice chianti.

Good intro to early and later philosophies. Later Philosophy particularly well presented. Final assessment of Wittgenstein’s place in philosopy quite critical but that was refreshing.

Wide coverage of the topic
