Wittgenstein

G.H. von Wright, a pupil and personal friend of Ludwig Wiggenstein and now one of the trustees of his literary estate, has here collected eight studies of Wittgenstein's life and writings. The studies record the reliable facts of Wittgenstein's life, and retrieve all the information which is still available relating to the chronology and composition of his writings. Avoiding interpretation, Professor von Wright concentrates on providing source material which will be of permanent value to anyone studying Wittgenstein. His work on the origins and development of the two great creations of the philosophical genius - the Tractatus' and Philosophical Investigations' - will be of abiding interest to scholars and students who seek to understand the thinking of one of the most fertile and original minds in the history of philosophy.

In an autobiographical introduction the author tells about the two forces which have shaped his intellectual life: philosophy as an academic profession and philosophy as a search for a view of life. The book, accordingly, divides in two parts.The essays in the first part survey developments in logic and analytical philosophy in the perspective of the closing century and in the light of the author's long experience and participation in them. There are also essays on Musil's criticism of Mach, on the Finnish philosopher Eino Kaila's search for a monistic world view, and on Wittgenstein's place on the cultural map of the century.The papers in the second part deal with traits of contemporary civilization which have become problematic thanks to the impact of technological developments on political and social forms of life. Humanism, modernity, and scientific rationality are key-ideas taken up for critical scrutiny.
