Description
Maurice O'Connor Drury, like his mentor Wittgenstein, did not publish very much. Most of his publications are reprinted in this volume. The book includes Drury's two best-known pieces: "Conversations with Wittgenstein" and "Some Notes on Conversations with Wittgenstein". Drury was more than merely a reporter of Wittgensteinian conversation; he was also a student of philosophy and a respected psychiatrist - and his most original work, "The Danger of Words" (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1973), brings together these two dominant elements of his life's work: the philosophical and the psychiatric. As an addendum to "The Danger of Words", the volume also reprints Drury's article "Fact and Hypothesis", which appeared in the journal "The Human World", Volumes 15-16 (1974), and a hitherto unpublished lecture which Drury gave at University College, Dublin, to the student Philosophy Society in the late 1960s.
