Abstract:

Ludwig Wittgenstein's works encompass a huge number of published philosophical
manuscripts, notebooks, lectures, remarks, and responses, as well as his
unpublished private diaries. The diaries were written mainly in coded script
to interpolate his writings on the philosophy of language with autobiographic
passages, but were previously unknown to the public and impossible to decode
without learning the coding system.

This book deciphers the cryptography of the diary entries to examine what
Wittgenstein's personal idiom reveals about his public and private identities.
Employing the semiotic doctrine of Charles S. Peirce, Dinda L. Gorlée argues
that the style of writing reflects the variety of Wittgenstein's emotional
moods, which were profoundly affected by his medical symptoms. Bringing
Peirce's reasoning of abduction together with induction and deduction, the
book investigates how the semiosis of the emotional, energetic, and logical
interpretations of signs and objects reveal Wittgenstein's psychological
states in the coded diaries.
