WITTGENSTEIN IN VIENNA.
"Wittgenstein in Vienna" documents Wittgenstein's life in the city: the places he, his family and those with whom he was in contact, lived, worked, entertained and socialized. The book will be a source of enrichment to the cultural tourist in Vienna. Its authors are authorities on Wittgenstein's philosophy especially in relation to Viennese culture and popular culture, in particular the world of the coffee house and cabaret.
Wittgenstein, a Life

Private Utopia
This book is a scientific anthology and a text mosaic on the modern interior, its origins and its historic development. In recent years, science has increasingly focused on the subject of the interior; this book investigates the subject from different perspectives, the resumé of a symposium at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna. Experts in the fields of architectural history, philosophy and psychology analyze the modern trend towards the individual design of interiors beyond fashion and good taste; the atelier and practice of Lucian and Sigmund Freud, the interiors in Proust's novels, Wittgenstein's house and Kiesler's Endless House.
Autism and Creativity
Autism and Creativity is a stimulating study of male creativity and autism, arguing that a major genetic endowment is a prerequisite of genius, and that cultural and environmental factors are less significant than has often been claimed. Chapters on the diagnosis and psychology of autism set the scene for a detailed examination of a number of important historical figures. For example: * in the Indian mathematician Ramanujan, the classic traits of Asperger's syndrome are shown to have coexisted with an extraordinary level of creativity * more unexpectedly, from the fields of philosophy, politics and literature, scrutiny of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sir Keith Joseph, Eamon de Valera, Lewis Carroll and William Butler Yeats reveals classical autistic features. Autism and Creativity will prove fascinating reading not only for professionals and students in the field of autism and Asperger's syndrome, but for anyone wanting to know how individuals presenting autistic features have on many occasions changed the way we understand society.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A readable and concise account, Ludwig Wittgenstein is an informative, accessible introduction to the one of the greatest thinkers of our age.
Våld
Våld möter oss dagligen på film, tv och i dagspress. Men vi finner också framställningar av våld i exempelvis rättsprotokoll eller politiska debatter. Hur olika representationer av våld förhåller sig till reellt våld, eller till andra bilder och berättelser om våld, tillhör de viktiga och komplexa frågor som väcks i antologin Våld. Representation och verklighet.. Historiker, konstvetare och filmvetare ger här exempel ur våldets kulturhistoria. Författarna berättar om medeltida lagar, krigspropaganda, mordet på Gustav III och husbondevälde på 1800-talet. Men vi möter även 1900-talets ungdomsvåld, lynchningar i den amerikanska södern, våld på film och får en analys av atombomben framställd som apokalyptisk naturkatastrof. Våld. Representation och verklighet handlar om våldets plats i vår kultur – historiskt betraktat och i vår egen ti
WITTGENSTEINIAN (adj.)
“Tell me," Wittgenstein once asked a friend, "why do people always say, it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?" His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?” What would it have looked like if we looked at all sciences from the viewpoint of Wittgenstein’s philosophy? Wittgenstein is undoubtedly one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. His complex body of work has been analysed by numerous scholars, from mathematicians and phys...
