Summary "Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century - perhaps of any century. Since his death, Wittgenstein's work has become central in postanalytical philosophical thought, and beyond the world of academic philosophy, it has inspired playwrights, poets, novelists, architects, filmmakers, and biographers."
"Historical Dictionary of Wittgenstein's Philosophy is intended for anyone who wants to know more about the philosophy, language, and the life of this enigmatic thinker. This dictionary is written for a general audience but discusses the issues raised by Wittgenstein, clarifying them and their significance. It contains an introductory overview of his life and work and a timeline of the major relevant events in and after his life. The detailed dictionary entries include cross-references on all the major concepts and arguments associated with Wittgenstein's work in his early, middle, and late periods, as well as ideas, people, and places involved in his philosophy and its reception.
Suggestions for further reading are also included, as well as a guide to the literature on Wittgenstein and a bibliography by subject area. Historical Dictionary of Wittgenstein's Philosophy is a reference work but can also be used as a general introduction to Wittgenstein's life and work."--Jacket.
