Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Version 2)
Gelesen von Landon D. C. Elkind
Ludwig Wittgenstein
(4,667 Sterne; 6 Bewertungen)
The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is the only book published by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Any summary would frankly do the work an injustice - the interested reader is directed to Wittgenstein's preface and to the introduction of Wittgenstein's teacher, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) - upon these no author could measurably improve. - (Summary by Landon D.

Life, the Universe, and Everything
Joseph Brown
(5 Sterne)
This is a good reading of a difficult book. Wittgenstein creates a cohesive foundation for philosophy, logic, mathematics and language using simple propositional statements. TLP was written during WWI as a response to Russell's 1907 Principia Mathematica, which proposed logic as the foundation of mathematics. TLP in response argues that something of which we cannot speak underlies both.
