Ludwig Wittgenstein, who died in Cambridge in 1951, is one of the most powerful influences on contemporary philosophy, yet he shunned publicity and was essentially a private man. His friend Norman Malcolm (himself an eminent philosopher) wrote this remarkably vivid personal memoir of Wittgenstein, which was published in 1958 and was immediately recognized as a moving and truthful portrait of this gifted, difficult man. This edition includes also the complete text of the fifty-seven letters which Wittgenstein wrote to Malcolm over a period of eleven years. Apart from the quotations in the Memoir these letters are previously unpublished. They reveal how much friendships mattered to Wittgenstein, and how concerned he was for the health and well-being of his friends. His human qualities become evident; he advises, warns, jokes. and is grateful and affectionate. The volume also features a concise biographical sketch by another leading philosopher who was a friend of Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik von Wright. Much has been published about Wittgenstein since his death, but nothing brings us closer to the man himself than this modest classic of philosophical biography.

评分Kon-Tiki和维特根斯坦 去年有部挪威电影可以看看，叫Kon-Tiki，中文翻成《孤筏重洋》。电影讲的是挪威探险家海尔达尔（Thor Heyerdahl，1914-2002）为证明波利尼西亚人最早的祖先是从南美洲西岸坐木筏顺洋流向西飘到波利尼西亚的，在1947年4月28日到8月7日，同五个伙伴一起乘...
评分维特根斯坦对于哲学工作是热情的，但这并不是说他喜爱教学工作。相反，担任教授职务的日程使他劳累，另一方面，他认为自己是一名糟糕的老师（“我可能播下去的唯一种子，只是一堆难懂的行话”）。对于工作的热情，他是这样理解的：一个人应当用毕生的精力去从事他有才能去做的...
