Features: This is the posthumous manuscript called the "Philosopher of Philosophers" by Western scholars. It is the most inspirational and poetic cultural notes of the 20th century. In Wittgenstein's view, powerful language must make things appear unified, enabling the personification of time, and the joy of thought is the source of his life's joy. The author's wisdom shines across fields such as philosophy, logic, education, psychology, linguistics, aesthetics, literature, art, and religion. He challenges many disciplines, overturning his earlier cultural values and proving the credibility of existing human knowledge. Wittgenstein was the one who "advanced modern philosophical methods to a decisive turning point." He made outstanding contributions to logical empiricism, ordinary language philosophy, philosophical methodology, and the development of logic. Encyclop?dia Britannica's Great Ideas of the 20th Century listed him as one of the 62 most important achievements in humanities of the 20th century (including five in philosophy). This book is the author's intellectual notes from 1914 to 1951. These notes were collected and compiled by his student G. H. von Wright from Wittgenstein's posthumous manuscripts. The notes cover a wide range of fields, including philosophy, religion, history, psychology, logic, linguistics, art, music, and architecture. The author's highly spirited thoughts and poetic language are rare in philosophical writings. This is the posthumous manuscript called the "Philosopher of Philosophers" by Western scholars. It is the most inspirational and poetic cultural notes of the 20th century.
