This volume covers aspects of Ludwig Wittgenstein' s time in Swansea between 1942 and 1947.

It considers his interaction with Rush Rhees, his stimulus for the Swansea School, and his broader influence on students, academics and a plethora of writers from a range of disciplines and interests. The contributors view Wittgenstein' s philosophy and legacy from different perspectives, which include explanations and assessments of Wittgenstein' s time and work at Swansea; historical and cultural scene setting; analyses of the Swansea School; literary comparisons; ideological evaluations; and a range of intimate reflections and commentaries.

The volume editor additionally offers some psychogeographical observations in consideration of Wittgenstein' s present-day significance to Swansea.
