Description

Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a foundational text of 20th-century philosophy that has shaped the development of analytic philosophy. First published in 1921, this influential work has been translated into English and continues to be a subject of intense debate and discussion. This new translation, by Michael Beaney, offers a nuanced understanding of Wittgenstein's ideas and their implications, drawing on a century of scholarship that has deepened our understanding of the Tractatus and Wittgenstein's broader philosophy. The translation is accompanied by two introductory essays, which provide context and background to Wittgenstein's work, as well as an account of the history of the text and the two earlier translations. Detailed notes, a glossary, and a chronology are also included to aid the reader in understanding the Tractatus and its place in the history of philosophy. This edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the fundamental principles of logic, philosophy, and language.
