Wittgenstein'S Poker by David Edmonds
On 25 October 1946, in a crowded room in Cambridge, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper came face to face for the first and only time. The encounter lasted just ten minutes, and did not go well. Almost immediately, rumours started to spread around that the two philosophers had come to blows, armed with red-hot pokers .
'Those 10 minutes shook the world of Western philosophy literally to its foundations.. Edmonds and Eidinow have a very good story to tell, and they tell it wonderfully well.' John Banville, Irish Times 'A brilliant idea. The authors seem to me to have an extremely good grasp of the philosophical ideas, and a tremendous ability to explain them.' Michael Frayn
