Octavo. First Edition.In the Lent term of 1912, Wittgenstein registered as an advanced student at Cambridge, where he attended Bertrand Russell's lectures. At these lectures, Wittgenstein met David Pinsent, a fellow student who Wittgenstein would later call "his first and only friend." Soon after meeting each other, the pair began a very close friendship, travelling together across Europe. After Pinsent's death in 1918, Wittgenstein dedicated the Tractatus to him. In this book, the extracts from Pinsent's diary are reproduced for the first time together with letters and correspondences between him and Wittgenstein. Through this, one is provided with a primary view into the life and mind of a legendary philosopher.David's diary provides an amazing firsthand glimpse into the life of these two extraordinary young men and provides an intimate portrait of the fussy young Wittgenstein - well aware of his own genius and, as he told Russell at the time, absolutely "driven mad by logic".During the Iceland trip of 1912, Ludwig instructed David in mathematical logic which Pinsent found to be "excessively interesting" noting that "I am learning a lot from him. He is really remarkably clever [and] I have never yet been able to find the smallest fault in his reasoning: and yet he has made me reconstruct entirely my ideas on several subjects." That trip had more than its fair share of emotional up and down days - many of which Pinsent records in detail - but in the end he claimed that it had been "the most glorious holiday I have ever spent!"Back in Cambridge, Pinsent provides some wonderful details on Wittgenstein's thinking as he continued to spar with Russell on an almost daily basis. In late October of 1912, Ludwig told David that he had experienced a great breakthrough in logic. The following August, Wittgenstein was again telling Pinsent about his "latest discoveries" which David believed to "have solved all the problems on which he has been working unsatisfactorily for the last year." On a more personal note, David tells of the emotional problems that occurred on both of these trips as well as during the Cambridge year in between. Commenting on an incident which happened just as they were leaving for Norway, Pinsent wrote:I am afraid he is in an even more sensitive neurotic state just now than usual, and it will be very hard to avoid friction altogether. We can always avoid it at Cambridge, when we don't see so much of each other: but he will never understand that it becomes infinitely harder when we are together so much as now: and it puzzles him frightfully.In addition to many revealing diary entries, the book includes fourteen letters Pinsent wrote to Wittgenstein between July, 1914 and September, 1916 - letters which Ludwig mentions in his Notebooks 1914- 1916 - along with five letters between Pinsent's mother, Ellen, and Wittgenstein following David's death in May, 1918.
