Wittgenstein's Poker: The Story of a Ten-Minute Argument Between Two Great Philosophers

WORTH CONSUMING!

At 300+ pages, this book is more than a recount of a 10 minute long argument between 2 philosophers. A lot more.

The real core of this book is the role of Jewish Philosophers in pre/mid/and post Nazi Occupation in Austria and central Europe. In fact, that aspect of the book is 1 million times more interesting that the argument and what the argument was about.

(for those who care- that argument has something to do with puzzles)
