Review: Simply Wittgenstein

Simply Wittgenstein Simply Wittgenstein by James C. Klagge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I very much enjoyed this overview of Ludwig Wittgenstein's live and works, focusing on Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations. The author does a commendable job at clarifying the key points of this unusual philosopher's "antiphilosophy". I have always been drawn to Wittgenstein's focus on language and the "game" over ontological minutiae. This book clarifies and expounds on what is still important and relevant about Wittgenstein's thought and the parts of his interesting life that helped shape his outlook.

[I received a free copy of the book to review.]
