I just finished Wittgenstein's Poker.
The poker refers to a fireplace poker but I will admit
I noticed the book while searching for some poker
book.
The book is of incredibly obsesive detail as to the events of the only 10 minute meeting between Wittgenstein and Karl Popper. In the process you get a good overview of some 20th century philosophy. It all comes off as quite gripping, like a crime story almost, but many would think it is insane.
Has anyone else read this?
