The Voices of Wittgenstein


Book Description

The Voices of Wittgenstein brings for the first time, in both the original German and in English translation, over one hundred short essays in philosophical logic and the philosophy of mind. This text is of key historical importance to understanding Wittgenstein's philosophical thought and development in the 1930's. Transcribed from the papers of Friedrich Waismann and dating from 1932 to 1935, the majority are highly important dictations by Wittgenstein to Waismann. It also includes texts of redrafted material by Waismann, closely based on these dictations.










Georg Simmel


Book Description

Georg Simmel is and will continue to be one of the most important authors for all the humanities. This is true because hardly anyone else has forseen the enormous changes in culture, politics, and in the social conditions in general, that would occur in the course of the 20th century like he did. It is also true because he discovered a new way of thinking, one which made this premonition of dramatic change possible. Georg Simmel ist und bleibt ein wichtiger Autor für den ganzen Bereich der Geisteswissenschaften. Nicht nur weil Simmel die gewaltigen kulturellen, politischen und allgemeinen sozialen Umwälzungen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wie kaum ein anderer vorausgesehen hat, sondern auch, weil er die Art zu denken entwickelt hat, ohne die eine Voraussicht nicht möglich war.
