Wittgenstein's thought is reflected in his reading and reception of
other authors. Wittgenstein Reading approaches the moment of
literature as a vehicle of self-reflection for Wittgenstein. What
sounds, on the surface, like criticism (e.g. of Shakespeare) can
equally be understood as a simple registration of Wittgenstein's
own reaction, hence a piece of self-diagnosis or self-analysis. The
book brings a representative sample of authors, from Shakespeare,
Goethe, or Dostoyevsky to some that have received far less
attention in Wittgenstein scholarship like Kleist, Lessing, or
Wilhelm Busch and Johann Nepomuk Nestroy. Furthermore, the volume
offers means for the cultural contextualization of Wittgenstein's
thoughts. Unique to this book is its internal design. The editors'
introduction sets the scene with regards to both biography and
theory, while each of the subsequent chapters takes a quotation
from Wittgenstein on a particular author as its point of departure
for developing a more specific theme relating to the writer in
question. This format serves to avoid the well-trodden paths of
discussions on the relationship between philosophy and literature,
allowing for unconventional observations to be made. Furthermore,
the volume offers means for the cultural contextualization of
Wittgenstein's thoughts.
