About this product

Product Information

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers. For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. He famously summarized the book in the following words: 'What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.' David Pears and Brian McGuinness received the highest praise for their meticulous translation. The work is prefaced by Bertrand Russell's original introduction to the first English edition.

Reviews
'The Tractatus is one of the fundamental texts of twentieth-century philosophy - short, bold, cryptic, and remarkable in its power to stir the imagination of philosophers and non-philosophers alike.' - Michael Frayn 'Among the productions of the twentieth century the Tractatus continues to stand out for its beauty and its power.' - A.J. Ayer 'Mr Wittgenstein, in his preface, tells us that his book is not a textbook, and that its object will be attained if there is one person who reads it with understanding and to whom it affords pleasure. We think there are many persons who will read it with understanding and enjoy it. The treatise is clear and lucid. The author is continually arresting us with new and striking thoughts, and he closes on a note of mystical exaltation.' - The Times Literary Supplement 'Quite as exciting as we had been led to suppose it to be.' - New Statesman 'Pears and McGuinness can claim our gratitude not for doing merely this (a better translation) but for doing it with such a near approach to perfection.' - Mind

Wittgenstein's Greatest Work!
I had to purchase this book for Modern Philosophy class, I was slightly dreading having to read it. After Finishing Frege's Foundations of Arithmetic (Yikes!) and then tackling Frege's "Concept and Object", "Sense and Reference" (another YIKES!) and "Thoughts" (much easier to understand and read after reading his previous work), Wittgenstein wasn't as difficult and certainly more beneficial to my understanding of modern philosophy than I had previously thought. He takes the traditional Fregen ideas and builds his own on top of them, laying a whole new foundation for the modern philosopher. If one has read Gottlob Frege's works (the founder of Modern Philosophy) than it is only fitting that they should read the works of Wittgenstein (arguably the second most important Modern Philosopher, save for Russel).Read full review
