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.
About the Author: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 - 1951) is regarded by many as the most outstanding philosopher of the twentieth century..
The work is prefaced by Bertrand Russell\'s original introduction to the first English edition.
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 Mc Guinness received the highest praise for their meticulous translation.
For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable.
Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers.
