From Jonathan Rée's intro to the first part of Journeys in Thought, a BBC Radio 3 series on philosophy in collaboration with Open University which will be broadcast tomorrow at 9:30 UK time and will be available on the web site for one week.

The next two philosophers which Rée will talk about are Hannah Arendt and Soren Kierkegaard. In March three features on Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and Karl Marx will follow. For each philosopher the series will focus on one location where the philosopher spend some time. The places are Berlin, Ireland, the Peaks in England, Turin, Jerusalem and Paris. For you to join them with the thinkers.

P.S. By the way I have never understood how anyone could ever think of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as a logical treatise. For me it has always been about the insufficiency of logic (with language being a special case of logic). Simply spoken that there is much more to life than maths. Though maths is the most beautiful and exciting of all sciences. At least for the human mind.
