Ludwig Wittgenstein, who died in Cambridge in 1951, is one of the most powerful influences on contemporary philosophy, yet he shunned publicity and was essentially a private man. His friend Norman Malcolm (himself an eminent philosopher) wrote this remarkably vivid personal memoir of Wittgenstein, which was published in 1958 and was immediately recognized as a moving and truthful portrait of this gifted, difficult man. This edition includes also the complete text of the fifty-seven letters which Wittgenstein wrote to Malcolm over a period of eleven years. Apart from the quotations in the Memoir these letters are previously unpublished. They reveal how much friendships mattered to Wittgenstein, and how concerned he was for the health and well-being of his friends. His human qualities become evident; he advises, warns, jokes. and is grateful and affectionate. The volume also features a concise biographical sketch by another leading philosopher who was a friend of Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik von Wright. Much has been published about Wittgenstein since his death, but nothing brings us closer to the man himself than this modest classic of philosophical biography.

評分维特根斯坦对于哲学工作是热情的，但这并不是说他喜爱教学工作。相反，担任教授职务的日程使他劳累，另一方面，他认为自己是一名糟糕的老师（“我可能播下去的唯一种子，只是一堆难懂的行话”）。对于工作的热情，他是这样理解的：一个人应当用毕生的精力去从事他有才能去做的...
評分一八八九年四月二十六日，路德维希·维特根斯坦在维也纳出生。他的父亲是一名工程师，凭着自己的聪明能干，最终成为一名成功的商人。维特根斯坦从小受到严格的家教，但这种教育的代价是惨痛的：他的三个哥哥死于自杀，他本人终其一生，亦多笼罩在浓重的悲观情绪之中，并对自杀...
