And Now, I Think, We Can Say: A conversation about Wittgenstein and the comforts of our life in language

The warmest, funniest, most erudite and ambitious philosophical dialogue of the twenty-first century? A lonely professor in a bookstore cafe overhears someone trying to explain Wittgenstein to a good friend–the two of them once having come close to an adulterous affair? The professor surreptitiously records their conversation, and then adds on top of it all his own ideas about Wittgenstein’s philosophy, biography and psychology. A post-modern, Platonic exploration of how and why we human beings still try to speak and be heard. All our life in language (our most sophisticated philosophies included) keeps revolving around the fixed point of our real if unmeetable need: to find love and understanding?
