When he died in 1930 aged 26, Frank Ramsey had already invented one branch of mathematics and two branches of economics, laying the foundations for decision theory and game theory. Keynes deferred to him; he was the only philosopher whom Wittgenstein treated as an equal. Had he lived he might have been recognized as the most brilliant thinker of the century. This amiable shambling bear of a man was an ardent socialist, a believer in free love, and an intimate of theBloomsbury set. For the first time Cheryl Misak tells the full story of his extraordinary life.

I didn’t like this book much at first. Too rambling. Too much tedious irrelevant detail. Read like an Academic gossip column. Who knows who, who’s sleeping with who, who’s who in the zoo. Who cares. But it got better.It does eventually give a good portrayal as Ramsey as a man, life and times and all that. The twenties (1920s) was a pretty amazing decade - full of brilliance. (Soon to be crushed by global depression, nazism and a second vastly worse global war. 2020s anyone?) Life in the Cambridge set is well portrayed. Wittgenstein comes across as a real piece of work. Though we already knew that.It does eventually give some account of Ramsey’s original work. In philosophy, mathematical logic, probability and decision theory, economics, and mathematics/combinatorics. ( Try to twist your head around Ramsey numbers, as they are now called, if you’re up for a challenge. ) As the author freely admits this is a daunting task for anyone but he does a reasonable job of it. A bit rambling. Aided and abetted by Wikipedia like inserts from individual experts in the various fields. Which actually detracts from the book. We can always look up Wikipedia. What we’re looking for is a coherent unified narrative. If you’re not up to the challenge don’t jump in the pool.By all accounts Frank Ramsey was a rare human being. Extraordinarily intelligent, thoughtful, creative and imaginative, hard working, friendly and decent, with a deep concern for others and for greater social justice and economic/political freedom for all. He died of liver failure when he was only twenty six years old.
