During the pandemic, Marjorie Perloff, leading scholar of global
literature, found her mind ineluctably drawn to the profound
commentary on life and death in the wartime diaries of eminent
philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Upon learning that
these notebooks, which richly contextualise the early stages of his
magnum opus, the Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus, had never before
been published in English, the Viennese-born Perloff determinedly
set about translating them. Beginning with the anxious summer of
1914, this historic, en-face edition presents the first-person
recollections of a foot soldier in the Austrian Army, fresh from
his days as a philosophy student at Cambridge, who must grapple
with the hazing of his fellow soldiers, the stirrings of a
forbidden sexuality and the formation of an explosive analytical
philosophy that seemed to draw meaning from his endless brushes
with death. Much like Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief, Private
Notebooks takes us on a personal journey to discovery as it
augments our knowledge of Wittgenstein himself.
