Wittgenstien
A dramatization, in modern theatrical style,
of the life and thought of the Viennese-born, Cambridge-educated philosopher
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), whose principal interest was the nature
and limits of language. A series of sketches depict the unfolding of his
life from boyhood, through the era of the first World War, to his eventual
Cambridge professorship and association with Bertrand Russell and John
Maynard Keynes. The emphasis in these sketches is on the exposition of
the ideas of Wittgenstein, a homosexual, and an intuitive, moody, proud,
and perfectionistic thinker generally regarded as a genius.
