On October 25, 1946, in a crowded room in Cambridge, England, the great twentieth-century philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper came face to face for the first and only time. The meeting -- which lasted ten minutes -- did not go well. Their loud and aggressive confrontation became the stuff of instant legend, but precisely what happened during that brief confrontation remained for decades the subject of intense disagreement. An engaging mix of philosophy, history, biography, and literary detection, Wittgenstein's Poker explores, through the Popper/Wittgenstein confrontation, the history of philosophy in the twentieth century. It evokes the tumult of fin-de-siécle Vienna, Wittgentein's and Popper's birthplace; the tragedy of the Nazi takeover of Austria; and postwar Cambridge University, with its eccentric set of philosophy dons, including Bertrand Russell. At the center of the story stand the two giants of philosophy themselves -- proud, irascible, larger than life -- and spoiling for a fight.

評分去资料室找弗雷格的资料却无意间在书架上发现了找了好久的《维特根斯坦的拨火棍》。想读它的原因十分直接，我是W的迷恋者。 要说《拨火棍》的作者是记者是个大好事，记者让我想起了狗仔，狗仔让我想起了八卦，八卦让我想起了W打喷嚏的样子，显然，这本书那么有趣就是因为它知...
評分1946年10月25日，在剑桥道德科学俱乐部，两位哲学大佬，维特根斯坦与波普尔，发生了一场十分钟的争吵。蒙克的《维特根斯坦传》对此有半页的描述，而本书对这场冲突进行了深度挖掘和解读，以大事件叙述风格，展现了这场冲突的丰富场景。两位哲学家主角以及作为第三员大佬的罗素...
