It's a bit like reading a British biography of Napoleon...

But, the thing is, philosophy deserves what it's got coming to it, not unlike Napoleon....

So the book, eh, mediocre.

But I suppose it does succeed in being mediocre, even though the author is a peevish nobody who breaks out into a cold (and angry) sweat every time he realizes that Wittgenstein might be trying to wreck his tenure, here.

But, for a philosopher, I suppose that mediocrity has to be considered a certain degree of success.

Una introducción y un epílogo sitúan la obra de Wittgenstein dentro del panorama de la filosofía, también el autor ofrece una extensa lista cronológica. Finalmente, destaca algunos de los argumentos claves de este filósofo con una selección de citas de sus libros. ( )

Compacte, heldere en kritische bespreking van Wittgenstein en zijn werk. Zeer aan te bevelen inleiding. ( )
