The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is the only book-length philosophical work published by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein in his lifetime. It was an ambitious project: to identify the relationship between language and reality and to define the limits of science. It is recognized as a significant philosophical work of the twentieth century. Wittgenstein wrote the notes for Tractatus while he was a soldier during World War I and completed it when a prisoner of war at Como and later Cassino in August 1918. It was first published in German in 1921 as Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung. Tractatus was influential chiefly amongst the logical positivists of the Vienna Circle, such as Rudolf Carnap and Friedrich Waismann. Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) was an Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. He published few works in his lifetime, including one book review, one article, a children's dictionary, and the 75-page Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921).

Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' is a seminal work in the realm of philosophy, exploring language, logic, and the limits of human understanding. Written in a unique aphoristic style, the book delves into the nature of propositions, truth, and the structure of logical systems. Wittgenstein's complex arguments challenge readers to think deeply about the nature of reality and the relationships between language and the world. This book is considered a foundational text in the philosophical movement of logical positivism. Additionally, Wittgenstein's nuanced exploration of language influenced generations of thinkers in the fields of philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive science. This edition of the 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' includes an insightful introduction by Bertram Russell, providing valuable context for readers approaching Wittgenstein's work for the first time. Enthusiasts of philosophy and logic will find this book to be a thought-provoking and indispensable addition to their library.

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers. For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. He famously summarized the book in the following words: 'What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.' David Pears and Brian McGuinness received the highest praise for their meticulous translation. The work is prefaced by Bertrand Russell's original introduction to the first English edition.
