Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922) is dedicated to Pinsent's memory.[1][2] Early lifePinsent, a descendant of the philosopher David Hume, was born in Edgbaston, Birmingham. He gained a first-class honours degree in mathematics at Cambridge University, where he was described by George Thomson, future master of Corpus Christi College as "the most brilliant man of my year, among the most brilliant I have ever met".[3] Pinsent then studied law.[1] CareerHe met Wittgenstein, two years older, as an undergraduate at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1912.[4] He acted as Wittgenstein's subject in psychological experiments on rhythm in speech and music, and he struck up a rapport, based on shared interests in music and mathematics.[4] That led to holidays together, including trips to Iceland and Norway, which Wittgenstein paid for.[5] His diary (1912–1914) mentions his times and travels with Wittgenstein. First World WarDuring the First World War, Pinsent was deemed unsuitable for active military service. He trained as a test pilot instead and worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, where he was killed in a flying accident in May 1918.[4] References1. ^{{cite book |title=Atmospheric Flight in the Twentieth Century |last=Galison |first=Peter Louis |author2=Roland, Alex |year=2000 |publisher=Springer |isbn=0-7923-6037-0 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JrhexWahPIgC&pg=PA360&dq=%22David+Pinsent%22&num=100&as_brr=3&sig=L9fHtgOuGekoIZEXkxrAiU004fA |page=360 }} 2. ^{{cite book |title=Clear and Queer Thinking |last=Goldstein |first=Laurence |year=1999 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=0-8476-9546-8 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EvHPNoKvmf0C&pg=PA179&dq=%22David+Pinsent%22&num=100&as_brr=3&sig=s7x5-I_YjHi8QgWqSFLPSyMq7u8 |page=179 }} 3. ^{{cite book |title=Wittgenstein's Lasting Significance |last=Kölbel |first=Max |year=2004 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=0-415-30517-9 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2kccxpggLeUC&pg=PT164&dq=%22David+Pinsent%22&num=100&as_brr=3&sig=WJyoQr-JrHM45c6v8oAHa_xMou8 |page=150}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 Loners: The Life Path of Unusual Children Sula Wolff, 1995, p. 161, [https://books.google.com/books?id=ltbeu-XY6YgC&pg=RA1-PA161&lpg=RA1-PA161&dq=%22David+Pinsent%22+born&source=web&ots=jOr7gUXqZJ&sig=M-Zw-BOz6KyDMffSYYnKT9rQ0xk&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result Books-Google-161]. 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.wittgen-cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/text/biogre3.html |title=Ludwig Wittgenstein: Cambridge |accessdate=2008-02-28 |work=Cambridge Wittgenstein Archive |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080222025841/http://www.wittgen-cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/text/biogre3.html |archivedate=2008-02-22 |df= }} External links
