Celebrating links to key philosopher
South Wales Evening Post
|November 18, 2025
A NEW blue plaque has been unveiled at Langland Bay to honour one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers, Ludwig Wittgenstein, in recognition of his lasting connection to Swansea and its university.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The plaque is located on the promenade wall near the Hole in the Wall Café - a spot the philosopher is believed to have walked past many times during his visits to the area.
This is the latest of many blue plaques installed in Swansea as part of a scheme led by Swansea Council to celebrate the city’s heritage.
Born in Vienna in 1889, Wittgenstein is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of the modern era.
His visits to Swansea were prompted by his close friendship with philosopher Rush Rhees, who taught at Swansea University from 1940 to 1966.
