Studium Generale: Ludwig Wittgenstein

The Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was a remarkable thinker and personality. In his earlier days he published the strict and logical Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, in which he claimed to have solved a lot of philosophical problems. After a few years of retreat from philosophy – he worked as a teacher at a primary school in an Austrian village – he wrote his Philosophical Investigations, in which he developed the influential concept of language-games.

Dr. Brandt van der Gaast teaches philosophy at the UT and will explain life and thinking of Wittgenstein.
