About This Item
U.S.A.: Routledge, 2001. 2nd Edition . Soft cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 194 x 128 mm.-Small owners bookplate otherwise clean, tight and unmarked.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.
Synopsis
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is the only book-length philosophical work published by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein during his lifetime. It was an ambitious project, to identify the relationship between language and reality and to define the limits of science. It is recognized as one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century. G. E. Moore originally suggested the work's Latin title as homage to Tractatus Theologico-Politicus by Baruch Spinoza.
