Wittgenstein: A Very Short Introduction

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an extraordinarily original philosopher whose influence on twentieth-century thinking extends far beyond the realm of philosophy itself. In this book, A. C. Grayling aims to make Wittgenstein's thought accessible to the general non-specialist reader, explaining the nature and impact of Wittgenstein's views. The book describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and provides a fresh assessment of Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought.
