He is an icon of modernism, but what did he really say?   In Wittgenstein: A Graphic Guide we meet a strange man, a rigorous logicion who prized poetry above philosophy, who inherited a fortune and gave it away, who sought death in the trenches of the First World War, a great teacher who advised his students to give up philosophy, a solitary man who nonetheless inspired lifelong friendships. We are also given a clear and accessible guide to Wittgenstein's central work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, a glacier of logic, and his later, friendlier Philosophical Investigations. Here is an accessible introduction for anyone baffled by the complexity or intrigued by the reputation of this great 20th-century philosopher.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48095808684186,"sku":"9781848310865","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781848310865-us-300.jpg?v=1779328552","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781848310865-introducing-wittgenstein-a-graphic-guide","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
