{"product_id":"tractatus-logicophilosophicus-english-translation","title":"Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: English Translation","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century  the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus first appeared in 1921 and was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) published during his lifetime. Written in short  carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme compression and brilliance  it immediately convinced many of its readers and captivated the imagination of all. Its chief influence  at first  was on the Logical Positivists of the 1920s and 30s  but many other philosophers were stimulated by its philosophy of language  finding attractive  if ultimately unsatisfactory  its view that propositions were pictures of reality. Perhaps most of all  Wittgenstein himself  after his return to philosophy in the late 1920s  was fascinated by its vision of an inexpressible  crystalline world of logical relationships. The posthumous publication of other writings has  therefore  only served to reawaken interest in the Tractatus and to illuminate its more neglected aspects. David Pears and Brian McGuinness revised their translation in the light of Wittgensteins own suggestions and comments in his correspondence with C.K. Ogden about the first translation. In addition  this edition contains the introduction by Bertrand Russell which appeared in the original English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949639725109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415028256","price":90.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415028257.jpg?v=1770084738","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tractatus-logicophilosophicus-english-translation","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
