WITTGENSTEIN LUDWIG TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS

Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century 
Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration
of language and logic  science and mysticism  which has inspired generations of thinkers 
artists and poets. In a series of short  bold statements  Wittgenstein seeks to define the
limits of language  its relation to logic  its power and its inherent failings. Originally
published in the early 1920s  it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher
published in his lifetime. In this thrilling new translation  Alexander Booth displays an
extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein's gem-like prose - at once
specialist and  often  remarkably plain-spoken - of his background in mechanical engineering 
while highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.
