Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a philosophical work written by the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. The book was first published in 1921 and is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. The Tractatus is divided into seven main propositions, each with a number of sub-propositions. The book is primarily concerned with the nature of language, logic, and reality. Wittgenstein argues that language is a system of symbols that represent the world, and that the meaning of a sentence is determined by its logical structure. He also argues that reality is composed of atomic facts, which are combinations of objects and states of affairs.The Tractatus is known for its use of symbolic logic and its concise, aphoristic style. It is also famous for its final proposition, which states that �������what can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.������� This has been interpreted as Wittgenstein's rejection of traditional philosophy and his belief that many philosophical problems are the result of misunderstandings about the nature of language.Overall, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a highly influential work that has had a significant impact on the fields of philosophy, logic, and linguistics. It is a challenging and thought-provoking read that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.If a god creates a world in which certain propositions are true, then by that very act he also creates a world in which all the propositions that follow from them come true. And similarly he could not create a world in which the proposition 'p' was true without creating all its objects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
