Description for Ludwig Wittgenstein
Hardback. Because of his legendary impatience, Ludwig Wittgenstein's published books are focused on his solutions to his problems and consequently often fail to explain not only his earlier solutions but also his problem situation. This title counteracts the difficulty which this peculiarity of Wittgenstein's poses to his readers. Series: Jaakko Hintikka Selected Papers. Num Pages: 354 pages, biography.
