Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Contemplates why, in view of his suffering and the Jewish cult of suicide in fin de siècle Vienna, Wittgenstein did not take his own life. Investigates this question, focusing on Wittgenstein’s sources of suffering around what the author calls his ‘double identity crisis’ caused by his homosexuality and his Jewish self-hatred.
