Recollections of Wittgenstein

Memoirs of Ludwig Wittgenstein by those who knew him best. A insightful look behind the scenes at this well-known philosopher. From the book: "I have always thought that Darwin was wrong: his theory doesn't account for all this variety of species. It hasn't the necessary multiplicity. Nowadays some people are fond of saying that at last evolution has produced a species that is able to understand the whole process which gave it birth. ... you can't say [that today]." (p. 174)
