Ludwig Wittgenstein has captured the popular imagination as the modern Socrates, the fascinating master of enigmatic reasoning who, with his icy logic, convinced Bertrand Russell that there was a hippo in the room. He is an icon of modernism, but what did he really say? In Wittgenstein: A Graphic Guide we meet a strange man, a rigorous logicion who prized poetry above philosophy, who inherited a fortune and gave it away, who sought death in the trenches of the First World War, a great teacher who advised his students to give up philosophy, a solitary man who nonetheless inspired lifelong friendships. We are also given a clear and accessible guide to Wittgenstein's central work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, a glacier of logic, and his later, friendlier Philosophical Investigations. Here is an accessible introduction for anyone baffled by the complexity or intrigued by the reputation of this great 20th-century philosopher. AUTHOR: John Heaton is a psychotherapist and was a colleague of RD Laing. He studied natural and moral sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge, attending lectures by Bertrand Russell. Judy Groves is a painter, illustrator and designer who has worked on numerous Graphic Guides including Chomsky, Philosophy and Plato.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peribo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42812545368144,"sku":"9781848310865","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781848310865_1.jpg?v=1785741585","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/introducing-wittgenstein-a-graphic-guide","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
