Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" by Ludwig Wittgenstein is a philosophical work written during World War I and published in 1921. This austere book seeks to define the relationship between language and reality and establish the limits of science. Composed of 525 hierarchically numbered declarative statements, it presents seven main propositions without traditional arguments. The work profoundly influenced twentieth-century philosophy, particularly logical positivism, though Wittgenstein later criticized many of its ideas. Its famous closing statement
addresses the boundaries of meaningful expression. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
