Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein was a born Austrian-British philosopher. Wittgenstein was born into a wealthy Austrian family in 1889 and, after studying in Berlin, obtained a doctorate from Cambridge University in 1929. Bertrand Russell was one of his lecturers at the University and set a fine example for him. He was employed as a lecturer at Cambridge University for 18 years and during that time he worked on subjects such as 'logic', 'language philosophy' and 'mathematical philosophy' among others. His only published work was ‘Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus’ in 1921. However, it is also true that he did extensive research on the subject and all his manuscripts were published in the form of a book called ‘Philosophical Investigations’ after his death. Wittgenstein was a traumatized scholar, suffering from depression and suicidal ideation, which also forced him to drop out of school. Ludwig Wittgenstein's books, work, manuscripts, and other writings provide insight into his thoughts on a number of subjects. We scanned his works to collect his most famous quotes.
