Wittgenstein, this model of genius and a great philosopher of the 20th century, who has not read philosophy?
This book is a collection of 10 philosophy lessons on Wittgenstein taught by Lou Wei, a professor at Zhejiang University. This book allows you to understand Wittgenstein: there are ten lessons in the book. The first lesson introduces Wittgenstein's life and major works, and the following nine lessons explain Wittgenstein's important ideas and main propositions, such as "the theory of language pictures", "language and the innate order of the world", "the ineffability of saying and showing", "the problem of private language", "refutation of Russell's 'principle of induction'", "knowledge and certainty", etc. Through such clear explanations, these topics that have caused great controversy in academic circles and once became hot research topics allow readers to understand Wittgenstein from many aspects and resolve their doubts about Wittgenstein.
Reader comments
It's very well written, but I don't quite understand it. Read it again.
Close to the real world
Personally, I feel this book is both readable and profound.
I can't say enough about this book
Understanding thoughts and understanding logic makes people's words and actions more logical.
It was an eye-opener for me, who had never been exposed to analytic philosophy.
