Der Jubilumsband 230 der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist ein durch und durch philosophisches Buch. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) - in der angelschsischen Welt als der grte Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts geachtet, whrend bei uns die Diskussion ber ihn erst beginnt - zieht in diesem Buch eine Summe. Er stellt die Frage: was und wie knnen wir wissen? Welche Grundgewiheiten gibt es in unserer Sprache, in unserem Denken, denn nur wenn wir sie wissen, knnen wir miteinander sprechen und uns verstehen. Die Aufzeichnungen zielen auf die Grenzen unserer Erfahrung und die Mglichkeit des Erkennens.

Wittgenstein's work remains, undeniably, now, that off one of those few philosophers who will be read by all future generations.

Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote Tractatus Logico Philosophicus (Logical-Philosophical Treatise) whilst a soldier and latterly a Prisoner of War during WW1. Despite the chaos and horrors of his surroundings, Wittgenstein created one of the purest and most insightful works of philosophical reason of his time, and arguably since. Whilst concentrating on the ability of language to accurately portray the world of reason, Wittgenstein applies his notoriously uncompromising logic to wider philosophical issues of ethics, physics and even mystical thought.

One of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century, Tractatus identifies the relationship between language and reality and defines the limits of science.

"Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus may be the most important book of philosophy written during the twentieth century. Wittgenstein's writing style is clear, succinct, and accessible. Bertrand Russell claimed that "I cannot see any point on which it is wrong. But to have constructed a theory of logic which is not at any point obviously wrong is to have achieved a work of extraordinary difficulty and importance."

The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Latin for "Logical-Philosophical Treatise") is the only book-length philosophical work published by the Austrian 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 one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century. G. E. Moore originally suggested the work's Latin title as homage to Tractatus Theologico-Politicus by Baruch Spinoza. Wittgenstein wrote Tractatus while he was a soldier and prisoner...

Perhaps this classic philosophy book will be understood only by someone who has himself already had the thoughts that are expressed in it--or at least similar thoughts.--So it is not a textbook.--Its purpose would be achieved if it gave pleasure to one person who read and understood it.The book deals with the problems of philosophy, and shows, I believe, that the reason why these problems are posed is that the logic of our language is misunderstood.
