Description: Vintage 1963 Schriften: Tractatus logico-philosophicus Tagebucher 1914-1916 Philosophische Untersuchungen by Ludwig Wittgenstein. -Considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Ludwig Wittgenstein played a central, if controversial, role in mid-20th-century analytic philosophy. He continues to influence, and incur debate in, current philosophical thought in topics as diverse as logic and language, perception and intention, ethics and religion, aesthetics and culture, and even political thought. Furthermore, a central factor in investigating Wittgensteins works is the multifarious nature of the project of interpreting them; this leads to untold difficulties in the ascertainment of his philosophical substance and method. - This an edition of his diaries written between 1914 and 1916. Beginning with the anxious summer of 1914, this historic, en-face edition presents the first-person recollections of a foot soldier in the Austrian Army, fresh from his days as a philosophy student at Cambridge, who must grapple with the hazing of his fellow soldiers, the stirrings of a forbidden sexuality, and the formation of an explosive analytical philosophy that seemed to draw meaning from his endless brushes with death. - Published in 1962 by Suhrkamp Verlag, Frankfurt - Note: Text is all in German. - 544 pages - Good overall condition. Some surface wear to cover and inscription by original owner at front. Binding is tight and pages are clean except for some light yellowing.
