Ludwig Wittgenstein loved movies, and based on his remarks on watching them, there is a strong connection between his experience of watching films and his thoughts on aesthetics. Furthermore, however, Wittgenstein himself has been invoked in recent cinema. Wittgenstein at the Movies is centered on in-depth explorations of two intriguing experimental films on Wittgenstein: Derek Jarman's Wittgenstein and Peter Forgacs' Wittgenstein Tractatus. The featured essays look at cinematic interpretations of Wittgenstein's life and philosophy in a manner bound to provoke the lively interest of Wittgenstein scholars, film theorists, and students of film aesthetics. As well, the book engages a broader audience concerned with philosophical issues about film and Wittgenstein's cultural significance, with the world of fin-de-siecle Vienna, of Cambridge in the first half of the twentieth century, of artistic modernism.

One of the greatest works of twentieth-century philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations" is also one of the most controversial. "Wittgenstein's Investigations 1-133" provides a clear and concise introduction to the crucial early sections of this classic work.
Andrew Lugg discusses in detail what Wittgenstein says about meaning, metaphysics and philosophy in sections 1-133 of the "Philosophical Investigations." Besides making Wittgenstein's thought accessible to a general audience and explaining its philosophical significance, the book develops a radical interpretation of his remarks. It takes Wittgenstein's text to epitomize his philosophical outlook and applies Wittgenstein's philosophical strategy to his own words.
"Wittgenstein's Investigations 1-133" will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in Wittgenstein, language and the history of twentieth-century philosophy.
