Event details
Wittgenstein the philosopher has had a huge influence within philosophy and other academic disciplines.
Outside academic life, Wittgenstein the man has inspired artists, poets, film-makers, novelists and dramatists to attempt to capture the fascination of his uniquely intense and austere personality. So how are the two connected? Might understanding Wittgenstein himself improve one's understanding of his philosophy and vice versa?
