Given birth to in Vienna into an extremely rich and highly cultured family, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) grew up surrounded by fine art, music, and a troubling amount of dysfunctional action. After studying mechanical engineering and producing an interest in aeronautics, he became obsessed with mathematics and logic, which resulted in his life's work discovering the relationship between language, school of thought, and reality. In Simply Wittgenstein, James Klagge presents a fascinating portrait of this brilliant and stressed man, while discovering his two remarkable books - the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations - in which he provided concrete form to his singular and perplexing ideas. Drawing on 30 years of teaching about Wittgenstein at both undergraduate and graduate level, Klagge offers a clear and accessible launch to these seminal works, helping the audience understand the revolutionary dynamics of Wittgenstein's insights and the reason why they continue steadily to resonate inside our own time.
