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.

After having listened to the text read out I also bought the printed version.
Very useful as an introduction and survey.

Comprehensive and well read!

Der Text ist sachlich interpretativ, der Sprecher stimmig, die Sprache klar und komplex. Ein Genuss fuer Intellekt wie ein klassisches Konzert auch inhaltlich. Man bekommt Lust Wittgenstein zu lesen und auch zu verstehen. Zitierte und kommentierte Textpassagen weisen auf einen einzigartigen Schriftsteller hin. Sprache, mathematisch reduziert zum Geruest. Ueber das Leben des Philosophen erfaehrt man weniger, nur den eigenen Kopf hat er sicher gehabt. Der Text ist eher schwer verstaendlich. Einziges Manko, etwas trocken vielleicht aber zumindest gutes Iq Training.
