The author offers a new look at one of the most influential books in the history of philosophy: Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

Critical explanations of such...

This monograph demonstrates that the Fourth Gospel is a detailed, sequentially organized reworking of the Acts of the Apostles.
