Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: The New Translation by Ludwig Wittgenstein (Engl

Description: Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Alexander Booth, Jan Zwicky Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twenty-first centuryWidely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgensteins 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 Wittgensteins 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. Author Biography Ludwig Wittgenstein (Author)Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein was born in Vienna in 1889 to a wealthy industrialist family and pursued an education in mechanical engineering before going on to study, and later to teach at the University of Cambridge, where he lived until his death in 1951.
