[Ludwig Wittgenstein]


The Cambridge stories about him are far more interesting than his philosophy.

Rumoured to have furnished his room in Great Court, Trinity, solely with a reclining deck chair, to sit and think in.

According to the Master of Trinity, Lord Rees, when Wittgenstein submitted his thesis, the then Master proclaimed "This is a work of genius.  But greater still, it is also of a standard worthy of being granted a PhD from Trinity College."
