Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a philosophical treatise written by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. It was first published in 1921 and is considered one of the most important works of 20th-century philosophy. The book is divided into seven main propositions, each of which is further subdivided into numbered sections. The central theme of the Tractatus is the relationship between language and reality. Wittgenstein argues that language has a logical structure that mirrors the structure of reality, and that the meaning of a proposition is determined by its logical form. He also asserts that the world is composed of atomic facts, which are the ultimate constituents of reality. Wittgenstein's philosophy is deeply influenced by his background in mathematics and logic. He uses a system of symbols and notation to express his ideas, which can be challenging for readers unfamiliar with these concepts. Nevertheless, the Tractatus remains a seminal work in the field of analytic philosophy and has had a profound influence on subsequent thinkers.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
