Sinopsis

'A work of extraordinary difficulty and importance .... one which no serious philosopher can afford to neglect.'á -- Bertrand Russell.Ludwig WittgensteinâÇÖs influential Tractatus Logico-Philosophicusáexplores the assumption that it is philosophyâÇÖs task to âÇÖsanitizeâÇÖ language. Therefore, it is necessary for philosophy to develop an artificial language that avoids the pitfalls of ordinary language. This is the only philosophical work Wittgenstein published in his lifetime. Laid out in succinct well-numbered paragraph, it is an essential read for those interested in the philosophy of language or understanding the influential figure of Wittgenstein.From the introduction:á'...áto have constructed a theory of logic which is not at any point obviously wrong is to have achieved a work of extraordinary difficulty and importance.This merit, in my opinion, belongs to Mr WittgensteinâÇÖs book, and makes it one which no serious philosopher can afford to neglect.'á -- Bertrand Russell.á
