如果你想读维特根斯坦但不知道从何下手，我建议先读雷·蒙克（Ray Monk）的《如何阅读维特根斯坦》（How to read Wittgenstein）作为入门，然后再去读《哲学研究》（Philosophical Investigations）（而不是从他的第一本书开始，…
If you’d like to read Wittgenstein but don’t know where to start I would recommend reading “How to read Wittgenstein” by Ray Monk, as an introduction before moving to “Philosophical Investigation” (rather than starting with his first book,…
This short article is by Ray Monk, who in 1990 published a biography of Wittgenstein, which I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the guy's life and thought. Monk also wrote an excellent 2-volume biography of Bertrand Russell. This article seems to contain nothing…
This lecture was by Ray Monk, who wrote a fantastic and very accessible biography of Wittgenstein: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12079.Ludwig_Wittgenstei... Wittgenstein's work can be pretty difficult to wrap your head around, but Monk does a great job of getting its main thrust while covering…
All of Ray Monk's biographies are supposedly excellent. I have only read the Wittgenstein one, but he also wrote some books on Bertrand Russell (philosopher/mathematician) and Oppenheimer (scientist.)
> Where are the nice people who are also influential? I wouldn't recommend taking this article, and specifically this quote, as a suitable basis for saying Wittgenstein wasn't a good or nice person. He was a tremendously complicated person. The biography by Ray Monk paints a much fuller, more nuanced portrait.

这篇短文出自雷·蒙克之手，他在1990年出版了一本维特根斯坦传记，任何想进一步了解这位大师生平和思想的人我都强烈推荐去读读。蒙克还写过一部两卷本的伯特兰·罗素传记，极其精彩。这篇文章似乎没什么…

这场讲座的主讲人是雷·蒙克，他写过一本非常出色且通俗易懂的维特根斯坦传记：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12079.Ludwig_Wittgenstei... 维特根斯坦的著作可能很难让人摸着头脑，但蒙克在把握其核心主旨并涵盖…

如果你对他有哪怕一丁点兴趣，雷·蒙克写的维特根斯坦传记都绝对称得上是神作。
Ray Monk's biography of Wittgenstein is superb if you have the slightest interest in him.
据说雷·蒙克的所有传记都写得极好。我只读过维特根斯坦那本，不过他还写过关于伯特兰·罗素（哲学家/数学家）和奥本海默（科学家）的书。

> 那些既有影响力又为人善良的人都去哪了？我不建议把这篇文章、尤其是这段引述，作为断定维特根斯坦不是个好人或友善之人的依据。他是一个极其复杂的人。雷·蒙克写的那本传记描绘了一副更丰满、更细腻的画像。
