Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the few philosophers I knew anything about before reading one of Strathern's books, thanks to the
Action Philosophers! comic book. (You'd be surprised what you can learn from comics if you try.) This book, however, was where I learned that he was friends with Bertrand Russell, and that he was one of the few mathematicians on Earth that Russell considered his equal.
To me, that epitomizes the whole series. By now, you should know that I like these books, and always recommend them.
