Wittgenstein: A Very Short Introduction explains the nature and impact of Wittgenstein's views in terms of twentieth-century analytical philosophy and describes both his early and later philosophy, the differences and connections between them, and Wittgenstein's continuing influence on contemporary thought. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) was an extraordinarily original philosopher, whose influence on twentieth-century thinking goes well beyond philosophy itself, extending to literature, linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and sociology. His views have given rise to many new developments in the philosophy of language, logic, and philosophy of mind.
