On October 25, 1946, in a crowded room in Cambridge, England, the great twentieth-century philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper came face to face for the first and only time. The meeting -- which lasted ten minutes -- did not go well. Their loud and aggressive confrontation became the stuff of instant legend, but precisely what happened during that brief confrontation remained for decades the subject of intense disagreement. An engaging mix of philosophy, history, biography, and literary detection, Wittgenstein's Poker explores, through the Popper/Wittgenstein confrontation, the history of philosophy in the twentieth century. It evokes the tumult of fin-de-siécle Vienna, Wittgentein's and Popper's birthplace; the tragedy of the Nazi takeover of Austria; and postwar Cambridge University, with its eccentric set of philosophy dons, including Bertrand Russell. At the center of the story stand the two giants of philosophy themselves -- proud, irascible, larger than life -- and spoiling for a fight.

读后感
其实纯粹是冲着副标题上赫然写着的“两个大哲学家十分钟争吵的故事”去看的，而书中轻描淡写的过了。 作者更倾向于按历史角度写一部客观公正的八卦，正因为如此，此书变成了一部记录了一整个时代的史书和启蒙型书籍：近代科学史，维也纳小组，剑桥，反犹，世界大战，文明中心...
评分Great book. I first saw comments on Popper's philosophical ideas and their significant impact on modern politics and business world in the bestseller "The Black Swan". Then I found this book, very well recommended, about an epic debate between two of the gr...
评分我重点读了一次大战后维也纳的排犹风暴。增长了不少历史知识。 对于哲学争论，并没有太仔细看。 维特根斯坦的贵族出身决定了他对出身低贱的人有天生的偏见，比如波普，魏斯曼。波普虽然出身富有的律师家庭，但在维特根斯坦眼中仍属于下层社会。 这本书关于拨火棍事件的还原还...
评分无意间看到了这本书，也在同时意识到自己很久很久没有精心去看一本书，甚至精心做一些事了。最想的就是能安安宁宁的有些简单的快了，做些简单的事，看点自己喜欢的东西...真的是好久好久没有了。 维特根斯坦，呵呵，看到就兴奋了。历史，哲学，传记...看着就来劲了，不管如...
评分1946年10月25日，在剑桥道德科学俱乐部，两位哲学大佬，维特根斯坦与波普尔，发生了一场十分钟的争吵。蒙克的《维特根斯坦传》对此有半页的描述，而本书对这场冲突进行了深度挖掘和解读，以大事件叙述风格，展现了这场冲突的丰富场景。两位哲学家主角以及作为第三员大佬的罗素...
