About :
Born in 1889 to a distinguished and cultured family (his sister Margaret was painted by the painter Gustav Klimt), Ludwig Wittgenstein was educated at home, attending school for only the last three years. As a teenager he went to Berlin to study mechanical engineering, and then to Manchester, where he studied aeronautics. While in England he read Bertrand Russell's The Principles of Mathematics, a book that turned his interest towards logic and philosophy. In 1911 he moved to Cambridge, and when war broke out he enlisted in the Austrian army; he went voluntarily to the front, and was decorated with many medals for his bravery, but was taken prisoner of war in Italy. In the prisoner-of-war camp he wrote the Tractatus, but it was not published in England until 1922. Between 1920 and 1926 he had no connection with any university. He worked as a teacher at a school in Trattenbach, a small Austrian mountain village. The house he designed for his sister in Kundmangasse, Vienna, is now a museum. He returned to Cambridge as a research professor in 1929, and was subsequently awarded a professorship at Trinity College despite having no advanced degree. He died in Cambridge in 1951.
