If we accept Wittgenstein's word for it, he is the last philosopher. In his view, philosophy in the traditional sense was finished. Ludwig Wittgenstein was a superb logician who distrusted language and sought to resolve the issues of philosophy by reducing those to logic. All else--metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, finally even philosophy itself--was excluded. "What we can not discuss," he declared, "we must pass over alone." In Wittgenstein in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Wittgenstein's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's battle to understand his existence on the planet. The book also includes selections from Wittgenstein's work, a short list of suggested readings for many who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Wittgenstein within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.
