Through notes on conversations with Wittgenstein, letters to a student of philosophy and correspondence of almost 30 years with Rush Rhees, Drury gives shape to what he had learned from Wittgenstein. Whether discussing philosophy, Simone Weil or the power of hypnosis, he makes fascinating excursions into the bearing of Wittgenstein's thought on philosophy and the practice of medicine and psychiatry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlongside a foreword by Monk and an introduction presenting a new biography of Drury, analysing the relationship between him and Wittgenstein, this collection features previously unpublished archival sources. Beautifully written and carefully selected, each piece reveals the impact of Wittgenstein's teachings, shedding light on the friendship and thinking of one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Hayes\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Arts at  Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRay Monk\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton,  UK.
