Description: "This volume collects practically all significant correspondence and documents relating to Ludwig Wittgenstein's long association with Cambridge, between his arrival in 1911 and his death there in 1951. The letters he exchanged with his most illustrious Cambridge contemporaries Russell, Keynes, Moore and Ramsey (previously published as Cambridge Letters) art included with updated notes. Some 200 previously unpublished letters and documents are added, including 40 letters from Wittgenstein to his friend and Cambridge contemporary, the economist Piero Sraffa. Many letters from or to followers, pupils, friends or younger colleagues are included, showing his influence on them and the ideals they tried to put into practice in their own teaching or writing. The friends and followers of his last years - Rush Rhees, G. H. von Wright and Norman Malcolm - close the series. Minutes of meetings representing Wittgenstein's incursions into University business and The Moral Science Club are also included in their chronological place." "Anyone interested in Wittgenstein's philosophy, his life or University life in the first half of the last century will find something in this book, fully annotated and providing lists of correspondents, index and cross-references."--BOOK JACKET.
