<维特根斯坦传:天才之为责任>
匆匆读完这部近600页的书.
周二说我在读这本书,土摩托说他也想看.想起他写过一篇博客,恶毒攻击这位哲学家.
这部传记对维特根斯坦的信仰着墨颇多.
作者大部分时间保持客观中立,唯有一处开了维特根斯坦一个玩笑.
P365 有一次，维特根斯坦陪帕蒂森赌博作乐，显出自己是这种浪费钱的艺术的新手。他们玩轮盘赌，维特根斯坦没玩过，他细心地研究了这种游戏，然后用怀疑的口吻说，我看不出你怎么能赢！蒙克来了一句——看来有时核查规则比玩游戏更有意思。
今年是维特根斯坦去世60周年，剑桥大学在展出他的摄影作品

George Steiner1988年在伦敦书评上评一部维特根斯坦传记的开头:
Wittgenstein. A Life: Young Ludwig 1889-1921 by Brian McGuinness
Why should there be biographies of philosophers? Nietzsche held every philosophical-metaphysical doctrine to be the confession of its begetter. Husserl, on the contrary, believed that a philosophical argument was worth considering only if it aspired to the universality, to the truth-conditions of the anonymous. On neither count is there any need for biographical treatment. In the nature of the case, ‘lives’ of philosophers will either consist of more or less systematic accounts of their teachings, or of gossip. The originator of the genre, Diogenes Laertius, plainly exemplifies the dilemmas and superfluities of the enterprise.
