Description: Ludwig Wittgenstein by Joaquín Jareño-Alarcón Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Offers new insights into how Ludwig Wittgenstein understood matters concerning the meaning of life. Widely considered one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein was deeply interested in the significance of religion and ethics. Although he did not systematically examine religion and the meaning of life in his major published works, Wittgenstein professed that he would at times explore fundamental issues from a religious perspective. Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Meaning of Life is the first compilation of private letters, remarks, and notes regarding Wittgensteins thoughts and attitudes on ethics, religion, goodness, value, and moral action. With an academic approach, author Joaquín Jareño Alarcón reveals the significance of religion and ethics in Wittgensteins personal experience, corroborates the permanent tension between Wittgenstein and religion, highlights Wittgensteins preoccupation with the basic questions addressed by religious discourse, and more. Chronologically organized texts are accompanied by detailed commentary to illustrate how Wittgensteins interests in religion and ethics were reflected throughout his personal and intellectual evolution.
