The People that Made Wittgenstein's Books and Turned Him into the World's Most Popular Philosopher

Produktbeschreibung

Some historiographies of philosophy give the impression that great philosophical works fall from the window of an ivory tower, in completed form, printed and bound, just in order to hit and inspire the next genius philosopher walking by. In actual fact, in the history of philosophy, there are a number of cases in which it takes the great philosophers' pupils and followers to put their teachers' thought into a publishable form. In the case of the posthumous publications of Wittgenstein's writings, we can open, at least to some extent, the black box of the discipulary production processes involved in the making of a classic philosopher.
