Wittgensteins Secret Diaries: Semiotic Writing in Cryptography by Dinda L. Gorl?

Description: Wittgensteins Secret Diaries by Dinda L. Gorlée Ludwig Wittgensteins works encompass a huge number of published philosophical manuscripts, notebooks, lectures, remarks, and responses, as well as his unpublished private diaries. The diaries were written mainly in coded script to interpolate his writings on the philosophy of language with autobiographic passages, but were previously unknown to the public and impossible to decode without learning the coding system.This book deciphers the cryptography of the diary entries to examine what Wittgensteins personal idiom reveals about his public and private identities. Employing the semiotic doctrine of Charles S. Peirce, Dinda L. Gorlée argues that the style of writing reflects the variety of Wittgensteins emotional moods, which were profoundly affected by his medical symptoms. Bringing Peirces reasoning of abduction together with induction and deduction, the book investigates how the semiosis of the emotional, energetic, and logical interpretations of signs and objects reveal Wittgensteins psychological states in the coded diaries.

Tentative ConclusionBibliographyAppendix: List of Coded PassagesIndex Review Wittgensteins diary and secret code writing deserves meticulous study. Gorlées book is, to my knowledge, the first comprehensive and methodologically grounded investigation into this subject. The author has looked at every one of the several hundred secret code passages of the Nachlass and produced a book that impressively combines semiotics, cryptography, philosophy, religious and biblical studies, cultural studies and anthropology, biography, musicology and writing research. The book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Wittgensteins motives for interpolating fragments and reflections from his personal life into his philosophy. The author is to be commended for drawing our attention to these passages and, last but not least, for giving us excellent English translations thereof. -- Alois Pichler, Director of the Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen, NorwayDinda Gorlées theoretically rich investigation into Wittgensteins coded diaries masterfully unravels their meaning in relation to his philosophical genius and troubled life. Gorlée draws on her extensive knowledge of semiotic theory, translation studies, and Wittgensteins philosophy to weave a unique and fascinating account that unlocks the "secret" of these diaries. It is a pioneering and important study. -- Jeffrey R.
