"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. One of his friends, Norman Malcolm, wrote a remarkably vivid personal memoir of Wittgenstein, which was published in 1958 and immediately recognized as a moving and truthful portrait of this gifted, difficult man."
This moving and authoritative portrait of Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most powerful influences on contemporary philosophy, treats Wittgenstein the man, his unusual teaching methods, and his modes of thought and expression as seen through the eyes of Norman Malcolm, first as a student and later as a close personal friend.
Norman Malcolm was formerly Professor of Philosophy at Cornell University. Georg Henrik von Wright succeeded Wittgenstein as Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge and is one of his literary executors.
