This collection of essays deals with the relationship between
Wittgenstein's life and his philosophy. The first two essays reflect
on general problems inherent in philosophical biography itself. The
essays that follow draw on recently published letters as well as
recently published diaries from the 1930s to explore Wittgenstein's
background as an engineer and its relation to the Tractatus, the
impact of his schizoid personality on his approach to philosophy, his
role as a diarist, letter-writer and polemicist, and finally the
complex issue of Wittgenstein as a Jew. Written by a first-rate team
of Wittgenstein scholars including two published biographers of the
philosopher, Brian McGuinness and Ray Monk, this collection will
appeal to anyone with a serious interest in the most influential
philosopher of the twentieth century.
