Description: Wittgenstein : the Way OUt of the Fly-bottle, Hardcover by Schroeder, Severin, ISBN 0745626157, ISBN-13 9780745626154, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US He annoyed Bertrand Russell to no end. For one thing, he refused to speak anything but broken English and for another he disdained anything empirical, even declining to admit to Russell whether or not there was a rhinoceros in the room with them at the moment. Russell is not alone. Many others have found Wittgenstein opaque and infuriating, especially if they attempt to read his work without the contexts of his life. Schroeder (philosophy, U. of Reading) tosses out the rhinoceroses and finds remarkably fresh and seditious ideas, including the idea that Wittgenstein considered his early work wrong and therefore an example of how all philosophical theorizing is spawned by misunderstanding. When Wittgenstein moves to an entirely new model built upon, not against his mistakes, Schroeder takes the reader along to explore in this most extraordinary character's own time and space.
