A propos de cet article

The story behind the legendary confrontation between Karl Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein, "an enthralling reconstruction of the episode"--New York Times On October 25, 1946, in a crowded room in Cambridge, England, the greatest 20th centrury philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper came face to face for the first and only time. The meeting--which lasted ten minutes--did not go well. Their loud and aggressive confrontation became the stuff of instant legend. But precisely what happened in those ten minutes remains the subject of intense disagreement. Almost immediately, rumors spread around the world that the two great philosophers had come to blows, armed with red-hot pokers. What really went on in that room? And what does the violence of this brief exchange tell us about these two men, modern philosophy, and the significance of language in solving our philisophical problems? Wittgenstein's Poker is an engaging mix of philosophy, history, biography, and literary detection.
