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
Wittgenstein's thoughts and attitudes on ethics, religion,
goodness, value, and moral action. With an academic approach,
author JoaquÃn Jareño Alarcón reveals the significance of
religion and ethics in Wittgenstein’s personal experience,
corroborates the permanent tension between Wittgenstein and
religion, highlights Wittgenstein’s preoccupation with the basic
questions addressed by religious discourse, and more.
Chronologically organized texts are accompanied by detailed
commentary to illustrate how Wittgenstein’s interests in religion
and ethics were reflected throughout his personal and intellectual
evolution. Articulates Wittgenstein’s ethical point of view on
religion Features a wide range of primary sources, such as personal
commentaries, annotations, lecture notes, and diary entries
Includes testimony of friends, students, and others with close ties
to Wittgenstein Presents a balanced view of what Wittgenstein wrote
and the recollections of others in his circle Discusses how the
principal intention of Tractatus is to demonstrate the relevance of
matters concerning religion and the meaning of life Ludwig
Wittgenstein: The Meaning of Life is essential reading for
postgraduate and senior researchers, as well as advanced philosophy
students and non-specialists interested in Wittgenstein’s more
humanistic writings and his engagement with religion and ethics.
