The Wittgenstein Corpus 2.0

The Wittgenstein Corpus 2.0

On 12 and 13 December 2024, we invited again scholars from around the world working on Wittgenstein’s Nachlass, to a “summit” at the Wittgenstein House in Vienna (Bulgarian Cultural Institute “Haus Wittgenstein”). Following our previous Nachlass workshops in 2016 and 2019, with the Wittgenstein Corpus 2.0 we continue the tradition of scholarly exchange on current and future projects, technical innovations, and public outreach on everything connected with Wittgenstein’s Nachlass. Most of the talks will soon be published as video recordings or in book form.
