More than a century after its composition, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus--Wittgenstein's first masterwork, and the only book he published during his lifetime--endures as the definitive modern text on what logic can and cannot do. Since its first English-language publication in 1922, this profoundly enigmatic work has inspired philosophers and non-philosophers alike.

Consisting of 525 hierarchically numbered statements, each one self-evident, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is imbued, as translator Damion Searls writes, with the kind of cryptic grandeur and awe-inspiring opacity we might expect--might want--from such an iconic philosopher. Yet earlier translations, in their efforts to excessively copy German phrasing and syntax, range from stilted, even redolently Victorian, to downright impenetrable.
