Cambridge

Bertrand Russell'ın kariyerini geçirdiği, Wittgenstein'ın en baş belası öğrencisi olarak gelip sonunda odadaki en önemli filozof haline geldiği İngiliz üniversite kasabası.

Cambridge is England's second university city, but for the philosophy of the twentieth century it was the first. Bertrand Russell worked here for decades, and it was in Cambridge that he recognized Wittgenstein's genius and invited him to study. Wittgenstein wrote the Tractatus elsewhere, but returned to Cambridge in 1929 to reconsider it, submitting it as his doctoral thesis with Russell and Moore as examiners. The Philosophical Investigations — the rethinking of everything he had built — was written here and published posthumously. G.E. Moore spent his career here. The tradition of analytic philosophy that Cambridge incubated went on to dominate the English-speaking world.
