Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an extraordinarily original thinker, whose influence on twentieth-century thinking far outside the bounds of philosophy alone. In this engaging Introduction, A.C. Grayling makes Wittgenstein's thought accessible to the general reader by explaining the natureand impact of Wittgenstein's views. He describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and gives a fresh assessment of Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought.

And this, for Wittgenstein, is as we have seen the same as identifying the limits of thought; since the limits of language and thought are the same, an investigation of the former constitutes an investigation of the latter. (查看原文)

The layman's estimation of Wittgenstein derives from the fact that many
contemporary philosophers think he is the twentieth century's greatest thinker.
Whether or not that is true remains for history to decide; the judgement of peers
is not infallible. Whatever the decision is, however, it will not alter the fact that
Wittgenstein's life and thought were, at the very least, extraordinary

It was Wittgenstein's mother Leopoldine who did most to encourage the family's
cultural and musical activities. She too was a banker's daughter, with
connections among the Styrian landed gentry. Her musical interests were
particularly strong. At her invitation Brahms and Mahler were regular visitors to
the house, and with her encouragement Wittgenstein's brother Paul became a
concert pianist. Ravel and Strauss were among those who wrote one-handed
concertos for Paul after his loss of an arm in the 1914618 war. Wittgenstein
himself was gifted with a fine musical sensibility. In adult life he taught himself to
play the clarinet, but his most striking musical talent was the ability to whistle
entire scores from memory

Perhaps because of his own experiences Karl Wittgenstein's views on education
were idiosyncratic. He had all his children taught at home, to a curriculum of his
own devising, until they were 14 years old. The plan was not a success. When
the time came for Wittgenstein to attend school he could not get into a
Gymnasium (the equivalent of a grammar school) or even a Realschule (the
equivalent of a secondary modern) in Vienna, because he had not attained the
required standard. Eventually he passed the entrance examinations for a
provincial Realschule, in Linz, where his exact contemporary Adolf Hitler was
also a pupil. He spent three unhappy years there, leaving in 1906 without the
qualifications for university entrance…However, he
had always shown an aptitude for engineering, his father's profession; it is said
that he demonstrated this in childhood by constructing a working model of a
sewing-machine. His parents accordingly sent him to a technical college in
Berlin-Charlottenburg.
Wittgenstein was not happy there either and left after three terms…In the autumn he entered as a student of
aeronautical engineering at Manchester University.
Wittgenstein remained on the register at Manchester for two years, although for
most of that time he was in Europe.

The war had a significant effect on Wittgenstein in at least two ways. One was
that it caused in him a profound change of personal outlook, particularly in
connection with possessions and manner of life. Before the war he had been left
a substantial fortune by his father. Prior to that he had lived as one might expect
a generous millionaire's son to live. For example, it is reported that when one
day he missed a train from Manchester to Liverpool he promptly set about trying
to hire a private train, at that time something one could do if rich enough. Again,
Pinsent records that on their trip to Iceland (for which Wittgenstein paid) they
travelled so royally and with such a long train of attendants that they attracted
the sardonic notice of other tourists. And it seems that before the war
Wittgenstein was scrupulous in his choice of neckties. All this changed.
Wittgenstein gave the whole of his fortune to his siblings 6 he took the view that
since they were already rich more money would not corrupt them and
thenceforth lived with complete simplicity and lack of ornament, among other
things rarely, if ever again, wearing a necktie.
He took a one-year
course in primary school teaching, graduating in July 1920. That autumn he
commenced as schoolmaster in Trattenbach, a village in the hills south of
Vienna. He spent two increasingly unhappy years there before transferring to
Puchberg-am-Schneeberg. Here, as at his first post, friction arose between
Wittgenstein and some of the parents of his pupils, and within two years he
transferred again, this time to Otterthal. While there he wrote and published a
pronouncing dictionary for use in primary schools. Yet again trouble arose with
parents; it seems that Wittgenstein's temper and the alleged severity of his
disciplinary methods caused complaints. In April 1926, before official action could
be taken over the complaints, Wittgenstein resigned and returned to Vienna
噗，every year of him was unhappy…what had he done to the pupils that made their parents always angry, eh???

When his Fellowship was drawing to a close, Wittgenstein decided to emigrate to
the Soviet Union, then enjoying a certain vogue in Cambridge circles. As a
passionate admirer of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky he had in any case long
nourished an admiration for Russia. Accordingly he learned Russian and in 1935
visited the USSR with a friend. It is not clear why he reversed his decision to
settle there

Most of
these were written by people much influenced by Wittgenstein, and consequently
do not offer impartial views of him…The chief

He was, in truth, a nomad, a rootless wanderer,
trailing from one country to another and one place to another, varying longer
stays with many restless shorter travels, living alone except when visiting or
journeying with friends. His sojourns in one place rarely lasted more than a few
years. This was paralleled by the number of different occupations which
circumstance or his own choice led him to take up: student, soldier, primary
school teacher, gardener, architect, gypsy, don " none of which appears to have
given him satisfaction. His was therefore a fragmented and displaced life, and, it
seems, not often or for long a happy one.

He always sought to discourage people
from pursuing academic careers; several gifted pupils abandoned philosophy at
his insistence, one of them " to Wittgenstein's satisfaction " spending the rest of
his life employed in a canning factory

One neglected consideration which may go towards an understanding both of
Wittgenstein's character and of his philosophy is the nature of his formal
education. The sketch given of it above shows that after being taught at home
under his father's eccentric regime he had three years at school followed by
short stays at various institutions, ranging from a Berlin technical college to
Cambridge University. Apart from his teacher's certificate, Wittgenstein's only
academic qualification was the Cambridge Ph.D., gained at the age of forty. He
was by no means a scholar; he did not study the classic philosophers carefully
(most of them he did not study at all) and he actively discouraged his students
from doing so.

In contrast to this scattered and piecemeal education, there is the fact that
Wittgenstein's early years were spent in a highly cultured home. In addition to
musical interests he acquired several languages, and later added others,
including Latin, Norwegian, and Russian. Undoubtedly, he took an interest as a
young man in the flourishing intellectual life of Vienna. An indication of this is
that he read some of Schopenhauer's philosophy, then fashionable among
Viennese intellectuals and artists (one of Mahler's gifts to the young Bruno
Walter was a complete set of Schopenhauer's works). This mixture, with on the
one hand Wittgenstein's fragmentary formal education and on the other his
cultured and patrician home background, may in some part explain the unusual
character of his mind and interests. Perhaps unorthodox educations foster
originality; or it may be that native originality is stifled by too much formal
schooling

清晰流畅，维特根斯坦前期和后期哲学的主要论点归纳很适合入门者。但以我最最最直觉性的浅薄观察来看，作者似乎选择了一个过于苛刻的角度去评价维氏的历史地位。维氏没能清晰自洽的立论语言能做到什么，但却无疑的揭示了语言做不到什么，他以自己的失败拉开了后现代主义的帷幕。

He sure is one of the great personalities of philosophy. 主要看了生平与历史地位部分。

我怀疑我遇着了盗版书，前几页印刷是歪的；且我当时有什么毛病虽说在打折但这种书毫无买原版的必要。铺垫太多，到后半本才逐渐清晰流畅。我此刻的感想就是哲学研究真不错，可是太难读了！维特根斯坦什么都要说，还要写成零散语录，很不友好。

以前读过一遍。这次读发现了后期维氏与haslanger写的一篇文章（好像是ontology and social construction）里的观点有几分相似，毕业论文可以写这个。语言与现实。

看不懂《逻辑哲学论》跑来看这本。打扰了，这辈子只要碰到维特根斯坦的相关作品及讨论都要远远的避开。
