Amazing
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 greatest minds: Karl Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
I thought it would be tough for a layman in philosophy like me to read this book, not to mention comprehend. Turned out it's quite easy to follow. I'm not saying this book is written in plain language -- actually i've encountered a great deal of new words, just didn't bother to look for the dict.,'cause most of the time I have no difficulty understanding the idea, so why bother -- but every point is explained and explored thoroughly and in an easy-to-understand way.
In this book I've seen the background of those two philosophers, family, education, ways of thinking and debating, personalities, their philosophical ideas and academic achievements, etc., which all came into play when those two minds met each other and developed a heated debate on the very basics of philosophy.
I strongly recommend this book.
