📝 Description

Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' is a seminal work in analytic philosophy, presenting a concise and systematic account of the relationship between language, logic, and the world. It proposes that philosophy's role is to clarify thought and that the limits of language are the limits of our world. The book is famous for its dense, aphoristic style and its challenging introduction, which suggests it will only be useful to those who already agree with its premises.

💬 Quote Context

"

If you open Vickenstein's Tractus, the first line of the introduction is something like, 'I don't think this book will be useful except to anybody who's already like in agreement with the things that it says.'
