Biography
Shunichi Takagi is Researcher at Kyoto University and Chief Research Officer of AaaS Bridge. His PhD thesis, Wittgenstein and the ‘Kantian Solution of the Problem of Philosophy’ (10 February 1931), recounts Wittgenstein’s philosophical development from the Tractatus up until around 10 February 1931, focusing on his engagement with Russell, Kant, and Ramsey.
Pascal F. Zambito is Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Munich. He was Feodor Lynen Fellow at University of Vienna. His recent publications are “Essayism as a Form of Writing and a Form of Life” (2021) and “Searching in Space vs Groping in the Dark: Wittgenstein on Novelty and Imagination in 1929–30” (2023).
“Wittgenstein and Nietzsche is the first of its kind. It provides a much-needed overview of the current research on both authors, sums up the most up-to-date knowledge on what Wittgenstein read, knew, and said of Nietzsche, connects and elaborates on many aspects of their respective thoughts, and sets the stage for further comparative work … This insightful book will undoubtedly be of great use to scholars interested in Nietzsche and/or Wittgenstein.”
