Resumo
A historical review is presented of the link between Ludwig Wittgenstein, considered
the most important philosopher of the 20th century, and medicine, particularly neurology
and psychiatry. Wittgenstein worked as a porter at Guy’s Hospital in London, and then
as a technician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. He wrote about his important
insights into language, and neuroscience. It has been suggested that he had Asperger
syndrome and a possible movement disorder (mannerisms).
