This volume covers aspects of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s time in Swansea between 1942 and 1947. It considers his interaction with Rush Rhees, his stimulus for the Swansea School, and his broader influence on students, academics and a plethora of writers from a range of disciplines and interests. The contributors view Wittgenstein’s philosophy and legacy from different perspectives, which include explanations and assessments of Wittgenstein’s time and work at Swansea; historical and cultural scene setting; analyses of the Swansea School; literary comparisons; ideological evaluations; and a range of intimate reflections and commentaries. The volume editor additionally offers some psychogeographical observations in consideration of Wittgenstein’s present-day significance to Swansea.
Alan Sandry is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Strategy at Swansea University.
