Summary

Wittgenstein's Tractatus - the only book he actually published in his lifetime - was an immensely important work that changed the direction of philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century. It is a notoriously difficult, demanding and unconventional text, yet an understanding of the ideas in the Tractatus is essential to fully grasp Wittgenstein's remarkable thought. This introduction to the text is the ideal companion to study, offering guidance on: Philosophical and historical context, Sources and key themes, Reading the text, Reception and influence, Further reading.
