Wittgenstein and Heidegger

Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger are arguably the two most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Comparative work of these thinkers has only increased in recent decades, but no collection has yet explored the various ways in which Wittgenstein and Heidegger can be drawn into dialogue. As such, these essays stage genuine dialogues, with aspects of Wittgenstein¿s elucidations answering or problematizing aspects of Heidegger¿s, and vice versa. The result is a broad-ranging collection of essays that provides a series of openings and provocations that will serve as a reference point for future work that draws on the writings of these two philosophers.
