Wittgenstein and Norway

The two Norwegian researchers Knut Olav Åmås and Rolf Larsen describe the circumstances connected with each of Wittgenstein's visits to Norway. They succeed in exploding several myths surrounding Wittgenstein's reasons for making them and present a detailed and well documented picture of his actual activities and relationships in Skjolden. Other authors in this book investigate further aspects of Wittgenstien's relationship with Norway, reflecting on what Norway did for Wittgenstein, and what Wittgenstein did for Norway.
