How to Read Wittgenstein by Ray Monk

3.0

This subpar rating has less to do with the quality of the book itself than my own lack of understanding. After reading this book, I still am not sure I could pass a test on Wittgenstein's basic views as espoused by this book. This likely speaks more of the difficulty of Wittgenstein's thought and less about Monk's ability to write about it. This may very well be a great introduction for many, but for me, Wittgenstein's philosophy remains as impenetrable as ever.
