Abstract
Wittgenstein was obsessed by mathematics for most of his philosophical life. Take the book published as Philosophical Grammar, written in the early 1930s. Part I, The Proposition and its sense, occupies 236 pages (and here the titles appear to be chosen by Wittgenstein himself). Part II, On logic and mathematics, is 247 pages long. Thus this material, from which Wittgenstein hoped to publish a book, is evenly divided. That is characteristic of his intellectual activity from the day he knocked on Russell's door 1911, until 1944, when work on the texts known as Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics pretty much came to an end.
