Ludwig Wittgenstein's 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responses, as well as his unpublished private diaries.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 Wittgenstein's personal idiom
reveals about his public and private identities. Employing the
semiotic doctrine of Charles S. Peirce, Dinda L. Gorlee argues that
the style of writing reflects the variety of Wittgenstein's
emotional moods, which were profoundly affected by his medical
symptoms. Bringing Peirce's 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 Wittgenstein's psychological states in the coded
diaries.
