From Linz to Langland: Ludwig Wittgenstein
Advertisement
Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Between 1942-1947 he regularly visited Swansea, primarily to see his friend and former student Rush Rhees, who was lecturing at Swansea University. Together they would work on philosophical matters that eventually become the posthumously published Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein thoroughly enjoyed his time in Swansea, and he spent a lot of time walking around the city and along its beaches. He met a variety of fascinating characters, some academic, some proletariat. This play imagines some of those conversations, which cover a variety of issues.
Presented by The Cwmdonkin Players with Music by Delyth Jenkins. Written, directed and produced by Dr Alan Sandry.
With thanks to Alan Figg for the image.
Roedd Ludwig Wittgenstein yn un o'r athronwyr mwyaf erioed. Rhwng 1942-1947 ymwelodd yn rheolaidd ag Abertawe, yn bennaf i weld ei ffrind a'i gyn-fyfyriwr Rush Rhees, a oedd yn darlithio ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Gyda'i gilydd byddent yn gweithio ar faterion athronyddol a ddaeth yn y pen draw yn Philosophical Investigations a gyhoeddwyd ar ôl marwolaeth. Mwynhaodd Wittgenstein ei amser yn Abertawe yn fawr, a threuliodd lawer o amser yn cerdded o amgylch y ddinas ac ar hyd ei thraethau. Cyfarfu ag amrywiaeth o gymeriadau hynod ddiddorol, rhai academaidd, rhai proletariat. Mae'r ddrama hon yn dychmygu rhai o'r sgyrsiau hynny, sy'n ymdrin ag amrywiaeth o faterion.
Cyflwynir gan The Cwmdonkin Players gyda Cherddoriaeth gan Delyth Jenkins. Ysgrifennwyd, cyfarwyddwyd a chynhyrchwyd gan Dr Alan Sandry.
Gyda diolch i Alan Figg am y ddelwedd.
