Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Synopsis

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.
