WITTGENSTEIN IN VIENNA.

This architectural and philosophical guide offers a unique spatial biography of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers, meticulously mapping the Viennese landscape that shaped Ludwig Wittgenstein's intellectual development. The book documents the specific residences, coffee houses, and cultural institutions where Wittgenstein, his prominent family, and his intellectual circle lived, debated, and socialized. It grounds his abstract philosophical work in the tangible geography of Vienna, connecting his ideas directly to the city's vibrant intellectual atmosphere and its unique coffee house culture.

What distinguishes this volume is its dual authority, written by experts who command both Wittgenstein's complex philosophy and the specific social history of Viennese popular culture, particularly its cabaret and café society. This approach makes the dense world of early analytic philosophy accessible and visually concrete, transforming the city itself into a readable text. Cultural tourists and philosophy enthusiasts alike will find their exploration of Vienna profoundly deepened, seeing the city not just as a backdrop, but as an active participant in the formation of groundbreaking ideas.
