| Summary |
"Wittgenstein took literature extremely seriously and did not consider it of secondary importance. Still academic philosophy often shies away from the literary inflection of his philosophy. This is the first book to provide detailed discussions of his engagement with individual authors, such as Dostoevsky, Goethe, and Shakespeare. The book is essential for the cultural contextualization of for Wittgenstein scholars and scholars of literature"--Provided by publisher |
