Wittgenstein in Ireland, Paperback / softback Book

Wittgenstein in Ireland Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

Having visited Ireland regularly during the 1930s, Ludwig Wittgenstein resigned his Cambridge philosophy professorship in 1947 and moved there, living in a fishing village on the Atlantic coast and hotels in Dublin and the Wicklow Mountains.

This book represents the first sustained account to place Wittgenstein's time in Ireland in its historical context.

Wall plays a good deal of attention to the representation of the Irish landscape in which the Austrian philosopher found himself able to work; a large part of his writings were produced in the bleak landscapes of Ireland and Norway.
