I liked it a lot. I heard about it on NPR (Terry Gross's Fresh Air, as it happens) and mentioned it to my wife, who gave it to me for Christmas. I wanted it because I felt guilty for having read neither Popper nor Wittgenstein, despite having heard lots about Popper and despite having a copy of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Grammar that's been sitting on my bookshelf for the last ten years. So I figured, what better way to learn about two philosophers than by reading an account of their academic catfight?
