Product Description:
M. O'C. Drury was more than merely a reporter of Wittgensteinian conversation; he was also a student of philosophy and a respected psychiatrist. His most original work, The Danger of Words, brings together these two dominant elements of his life's work and includes Drury's two best known pieces: 'Conversations with Wittgenstein' and 'Some Notes on Conversations with Wittgenstein.'

Rated by buyers -
Drury's work is a classic. It includes discussions of issues in psychiatry and religion by a friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein's, the great philosopher whose works "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" and "Philosophical Investigations" remain controversial and highly influential yesterday in philosophy -- especially analytical philosophy, (the late) logical positivism, and the philosophy of language. Students interested in any of these fields will also benefit from Drury's work, and it can especially recommended to those who enjoy Wittgenstein's own writing, or who are interested in how it might be applied to issues such as psychiatry and religion.
