Wittgenstein's dictionary for children: a rare and intriguing addition to the philosopher's corpus, in English for the first time "I had never thought the dictionaries would be so frightfully expensive. I think, if I live long enough, I will produce a small dictionary for elementary schools. It appears to me to be an urgent need." -Ludwig Wittgenstein In 1925, Ludwig Wittgenstein, arguably one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, wrote a dictionary for elementary school children. His Wörterbuch für Volksschulen (Dictionary for Elementary Schools) was designed to meet what he considered an urgent need: to help his students learn to spell. Wittgenstein began teaching kid...

Paul Chan
The work of Paul Chan (born 1973) has charted a course in contemporary art as unpredictable and wide-ranging as the thinking that grounds his practice. Paul Chan: Selected Writings 2000-2014 collects the critical essays and artist's texts that first appeared in Artforum, October, Texte zur Kunst and Frieze, among other publications, as well as previously unpublished speeches and language-based works. From the comedy of artistic freedom in Duchamp to the contradictions that bind aesthetics and politics, Chan's writings revel in the paradoxes that make the experience of art both vexing and pleasurable. He lays bare the ideas and personalities that motivate his work by reflecting on artists as diverse as Henry Darger, Chris Marker, Sigmar Polke and Paul Sharits, and grapples with writers and thinkers who have played decisive roles in his practice, including Theodor Adorno, Samuel Beckett and the Marquis de Sade.

2000 Words is a series of monographs conceived by Massimiliano Gioni, each of which combines a critical, forthright essay with a survey of an artists' works in the Dakis Joannou Collection. From the vantage of a single unique collection, these small volumes give insight into the work of some of the most exciting contemporary artists. As a writer, publisher, activist, and artist, Paul Chan's varied practice redefines where and how art takes place. Using the city's post-Katrina backdrop to recontextualise Samuel Beckett's iconic play, Chan organised performances of Waiting for Godot in the Lower Ninth Ward and Gentilly neighborhoods of New Orleans. In 2010 he founded Badlands Unlimited, a press that publishes artists' writings and essays about art in paper and digital forms.
BROKEN JADE
When her son comes out and says he intends to marry his male partner, a tiger mother sets off on an urgent mission to save her son's soul and her family's reputation. In this funny, touching novel, the stories of Madeline and Justin illuminate the lives of families who must navigate vast cultural differences in order to stay together.
Hippias Minor Or the Art of Cunning
One of Plato's most controversial dialogues, Hippias Minor details Socrates's confounding arguments that there is no difference between a person who tells the truth and one who lies, and that the good man is the one who willingly makes mistakes and does wrong and unjust things. But what if Socrates wasn't championing the act of lying-as it has been traditionally interpreted-but, rather, advocating for a novel way of understanding the power of the creative act? In this exceptional translation by Sarah Ruden, Hippias Minor is rendered anew as a provocative dialogue about how art is a form of wrongdoing, and that understanding it makes life more ethical by paradoxically teaching one to be more cunning. An introduction by artist Paul Chan situates Hippias Minor in a wider philosophical and historical context, and an essay by classicist Richard Fletcher grapples with the radical implications of this new translation in light of Chan's work and contemporary art today.
