Its austere beauty – along with its famous ‘picture theory’ of meaning – has inspired generations of thinkers, artists, novelists and musicians. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of meaningful expression. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime.In this thrilling new translation, accompanied by a lively introduction by Jan Zwicky, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein's gem-like prose – at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken – of his background in mechanical engineering, while at the same time highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 200gAuthor: Ludwig WittgensteinTranslator: Alexander BoothContributor: Alexander Booth (Translated by), Jan Zwicky (Introduction by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
