One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twentyfirst centuryThe final philosopher to perform the most profound surgery on philosophy ... concise yet exceptionally clear Ai WeiweiWidely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgensteins Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus is a succinct yet wideranging exploration of language and logic of science and mysticism of what can be said, and what can only be shown. Its austere beauty along with its famous picture theory of meaning has inspired generations of thinkers, artists, novelists and musicians. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of meaningful expression. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only booklength work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime.In this thrilling new translation, accompanied by a lively introduction by Jan Zwicky, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgensteins gemlike prose at once specialist and, often, remarkably plainspoken of his background in mechanical engineering, while at the same time highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.
