Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein ( in German) (April 26, 1889 – April 29, 1951) was an Austrian philosopher.
He worked mainly in the basics of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.
He is regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century.
Before his death at the age of 62, the only book Wittgenstein had published was the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
His second book Philosophical Investigations was published shortly after he died.
Both of these works are regarded as very important for analytic philosophy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein was born in Vienna on 26 April 1889, to Karl and Leopoldine Wittgenstein.
He was the youngest of eight children and was born into one of the most prominent and wealthy families in the Austro-Hungarian empire.
His father's parents, Hermann Christian and Fanny Wittgenstein, were born into Jewish families but later converted to Protestantism, and after they moved from Saxony to Vienna in the 1850s, assimilated themselves into the Viennese Protestant professional classes.
Ludwig's father, Karl Wittgenstein, became an industrialist and went on to make a fortune in iron and steel.
Ludwig's mother Leopoldine, born Kalmus, was an aunt of the Nobel Prize laureate Friedrich von Hayek.
Despite Karl's Protestantism, and the fact that Leopoldine's father was Jewish, the Wittgenstein children were baptized as Roman Catholics — the faith of their maternal grandmother — and Ludwig was given a Roman Catholic burial upon his death.
Wittgenstein was homosexual.
Wittgenstein began studying mechanical engineering.
During his research he became interested in the foundations of mathematics, particularly after reading Bertrand Russell's Principles of Mathematics and Gottlob Frege's Grundgesetze.
In 1911 Wittgenstein visited Frege and Russell and discussed philosophy with them at great length.
He made a great impression on Russell and started to work on the foundations of logic and mathematical logic.
Russell saw Wittgenstein as a successor who would carry on his work.
The Tractatus
During the First World War, Wittgenstein served in the army and developed his logic.
He included ethical aspects.
In the summer of 1918 he learned that his friend David Pinsent had been killed in an airplane accident.
Wittgenstein became depressed and thought of suicide.
He went to stay with his uncle Paul where he was able to complete the Tractatus.
No publisher accepted it, but Russell realised it was a philosophically important work and wrote an introduction.
Wittgenstein did not like it because he thought that Russell had not understood the book.
In the end Wilhelm Ostwald's journal Annalen der Naturphilosophie printed a German edition in 1921, and Routledge's Kegan Paul printed a bilingual edition with Russell's introduction in 1922.
The years after the Tractatus
Since Wittgenstein thought that the Tractatus had solved all the problems of philosophy, he left philosophy and returned to Austria to train as a primary school teacher.
Wittgenstein had unrealistic expectations of the rural children he taught, and had little patience with those children who had no gift for mathematics.
But he had good results with children that were interested, especially boys.
His severe disciplinary methods led to disagreement with some of his students' parents, and eventually he resigned his position and returned to Vienna, feeling that he had failed as a school teacher.
After abandoning his work as a school teacher, Wittgenstein worked as a gardener's assistant in a monastery near Vienna and then he worked with the architect, Paul Engelmann.
This intellectual work did much to restore Wittgenstein's spirits.
Between 1925 and 1928, he joined his sister Margaret in Vienna, where she was having a house built.
Wittgenstein and the architect Paul Engelmann built it together, and though they never lived in it, 'Haus Wittgenstein' is still standing in Vienna today.
Toward the end of this work, Wittgenstein was contacted by Moritz Schlick, one of the leading figures of the newly formed Vienna Circle.
This contact stimulated Wittgenstein intellectually and revived his interest in philosophy.
In 1929 he decided to return to Cambridge.
He was met at the railway station by a crowd of England's greatest intellectuals.
He found out to his horror that he was one of the most famous philosophers in the world now.
Wittgenstein resigned his position at Cambridge in 1947 to concentrate on his writing.
When in 1949, he found out that he had prostate cancer, he had written most of the material that would be published after his death as Philosophische Untersuchungen (Philosophical Investigations), which might be his most important work.
He died of prostate cancer in Cambridge.

1980s establishments in South Korea
Tsing Hua University or THU (simplified Chinese: 清华大学; traditional Chinese: 清華大學; pinyin: Qīng Huá Dà Xué), is a university in Beijing, People's Republic of China.
It is regarded as one of the best and most selective universities in China.
It was established in 1911 as a school for Chinese graduates wanting to go further with their studies at universities in other countries, especially the United States and the UK.
Tsing Hua University was opened in Beijing, China in 1911 on the site of a former royal garden belonging to a prince.
It was first a preparatory school, a school for preparation, for students to be later sent by the government to study in America.
The people who graduated were transferred directly to American schools as juniors upon graduation.
In 1925, the school established its College Department and started its research institute on Chinese Study.
In 1928, the name officially changed to National Tsing Hua University (NTHU).
During the Second World War in 1937, Tsing Hua University, along with Peking University and Nankai University, merged to form Chang Sha Temporary University in Chang Sha, which later became National Southwestern Associated University in Kunming of Yunnan province.
After the war, Tsing Hua moved back to Beijing and resumed its operation.
In 1952, the communist government regrouped the country's higher education institutions in an attempt to build a Soviet style system, with individual institutions tending to specialise in a certain field of study.
TsingHua University was disassembled, losing its law school, school of agriculture, school of sciences and humanities, and became a polytechnic engineering university.
Even so, the University remained in the top tier schools in China (Many Chinese scholars regards that its only rival is Peking University).
In many years following this regroup, the school was often referred to as the "MIT of China" .
But since the 1980s, the university began to incorporate a multidisciplinary system.
As a result, a lot of schools were built and rebuilt.
These included the School of Science, School of Economics and Management, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Law, School of Public Administration, and the School of Art.
Only two colleges charge tuition to its graduate students; the law school and the Academy of Arts and Design.
During the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, the university became a battlefield between different sects of Mao's Red Guards (China) and a stronghold of the radicals.
It did not resume its normal operation until 1977 when the Cultural Revolution was officially put to an end.
Since 1977, the university has enjoyed rich government funding and policy support which greatly improved its facilities.
Since 1978, it has flourished with the re-establishment of the departments in sciences, economics and management, and the humanities.
Its graduate school has been recognized nationally, ranking first in the National Evaluation of Graduate Schools.
The School of Continuing Education uses modern information technologies, as well as the advanced educational resources at Tsing Hua.
Most Chinese university rankings place TsingHua first in China.
It attracts the most talented students of the nation and enjoys the best engineering and applied sciences programs in China, occupying a position similar to MIT, Stanford, and Princeton in the US.
Peking Union Medical College of Tsinghua University   is likewise regarded as the best medical school in the country.
Tsinghua's longtime rival Peking University is better known for natural sciences, social sciences, law, and liberal arts, somewhat similar to the Ivy League schools of Yale, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania.
Admission to Tsinghua is highly competitive.
The majority of selected students are national scholars and among the brightest high school graduates in the country.
Many of China's top scientists, engineers, politicians and business leaders are among Tsinghua alumni.
The former Chinese leader (2002-2012), Hu Jintao, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in hydraulic engineering in 1964.
The current General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (since 2012), Xi Jinping, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in chemical engineering in 1979.
As of 2003, Tsinghua University had 12 colleges and 48 departments, 41 research institutes, 35 research centers, and 167 laboratories, including 15 national key laboratories.
In September 2006, Peking Union Medical College was renamed to Peking Union Medical College, Tsinghua University  .
The university offers 51 bachelor's degree programs, 139 master's degree programs and 107 Ph.D. programs.
Recently, Tsinghua has become the first Chinese university to offer a Master of Laws program in American law, through a cooperative venture with the Temple University Beasley School of Law.
The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia.
Each year, the University celebrates the Intellectual Property Summer Institute in cooperation with Franklin Pierce Law Center of Concord, New Hampshire.
On April 12, 2007, Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management became the first business school in the Chinese mainland to earn AACSB accreditation.
Former Premier Zhu Rongji was the founding dean of the school.
Tsinghua is where former United States Vice President Al Gore lectured at in his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
Viewers can see the university lecture hall, with its well-known purple seats.
It is located on the former site of Qing Dynasty royal gardens and retains some Chinese-style landscaping as well as some traditional buildings, but many of its buildings are Western-style reflecting the American influence in its history.
It is known throughout China for having one of the most beautiful campuses.
University Traditions
Tsinghua Alma Mater
In 1923, another version of the school alma mater with lyrics in Chinese (by Prof. Wang Luan Xiang, a Chinese language professor of Tsinghua) was composed by Mrs. Zhang Hui Zhen and was well received by the students and faculty.
The song was then adopted as the school's official Alma Mater.
