About the video:
In this engaging conversation with Dr. Genia Schönbaumsfeld, we explore the radical philosophical journey of Ludwig Wittgenstein—from the tightly structured propositions of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the later insights of Philosophical Investigations. Dr. Schönbaumsfeld unpacks the deep shifts in Wittgenstein’s view of language, logic, and meaning, and how these changes shaped the development of analytic philosophy. Whether you're a student of philosophy, a fan of Wittgenstein, or simply curious about how language shapes thought, this video offers an accessible yet rigorous overview of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
