Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

1918 | Ludwig Wittgenstein
The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, published in 1922 by Ludwig Wittgenstein, is a philosophical work that explores the relationship between language and reality. Wittgenstein argues that the world is all that is the case, and that facts are states of affairs, which are combinations of objects. He posits that a logical picture of facts is a thought, and that a thought is a proposition with a sense. Wittgenstein emphasizes that what can be said at all can be said clearly, and what cannot be talked about must be passed over in silence. The book aims to draw a limit to thought, not in terms of what can be thought, but in terms of what can be expressed in language. Wittgenstein's work is characterized by its clarity and precision, and he believes that the value of his work lies in its ability to express thoughts clearly and to show how little is achieved when these problems are solved. The book also discusses the logical form of propositions and the role of signs in representing reality, emphasizing that only propositions can have sense and that the meaning of a sign is determined by its use in a proposition.The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, published in 1922 by Ludwig Wittgenstein, is a philosophical work that explores the relationship between language and reality.
