Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Austrian philosopher LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN (1889¿1951) was hugely influential on 20th-century philosophy and here he constructs a series of carefully and precisely numbered propositions on the relationship between language logic and reality using a numbering system to show nested relationships between the propositions. Considered one of the major recent works of philosophy¿a reputation enhanced undoubtedly by Bertrand Russell¿s glowing introduction¿this edition is a reproduction of the translation by C.K. Ogden first published in 1922 for which Wittgenstein himself assisted in the preparation of the English-language manuscript. Students of philosophy and those fascinated by the history of ideas will want a copy of this essential volume.
