Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
the original authoritative edition
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The book presents Wittgenstein's early philosophical work, which explores the relationship between language and reality, proposing that the structure of language reflects the structure of reality. It consists of a series of declarative statements, numbered and organized in a systematic outline, where Wittgenstein develops his picture theory of language, the idea of logical atomism, and concludes with the famous proposition "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
