      Ludwig Wittgenstein, who died in Cambridge in 1951, is seen as a powerful influence on contemporary philosophy, yet he shunned publicity and was essentially a private man. This memoir was written by his friend Norman Malcolm in 1958 and was immediately recognized as a moving and truthful portrait of Wittgenstein This edition includes the complete text of the 57 letters which Wittgenstein wrote to Malcolm over a period of 11 years. Apart from the quotations in the memoir, these letters are previously unpublished. They reveal how much friendships mattered to Wittgenstein, and how concerned he was for the health and well-being of his friends. His human qualities become evident; he advises, warns, jokes, and is grateful and affectionate. The volume also features a concise biographical sketch by another philosopher who was a friend of Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik von Wright.
