70 Years of Editing Wittgenstein. History, Challenges and Possibilities
Photo gallery
70 years after Wittgenstein’s death, his writings have entered the public domain in many countries, significantly changing the way his writings can be accessed and dealt with. On behalf of the International Ludwig Wittgenstein Society (ILWG), we took this moment as an opportunity to rethink the philological and editorial work on and with Wittgenstein’s writings. During the conference, kindly hosted by the University of Milan, we discussed how the editorial decisions of the last 70 years have shaped the reception of Wittgenstein and what problems and opportunities might arise from this for the future, especially concerning digital editions of Wittgenstein’s Nachlass. Within the framework of the three panels “History”, “Challenges” and “Possibilities”, dense and stimulating individual lectures dealt with editorial-philological problems in the past, stylistic peculiarities in the editing and translation of Wittgenstein’s writings and new forms of presentation through digital formats.
In addition, new perspectives for broader digital access to Wittgenstein’s works were showcased in a workshop centred on the Ludwig Wittgenstein Project.
