{"product_id":"tractatus-logico-philosophicus-1","title":"Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twenty-first century‘We could capture the whole sense of the book as follows: what can be said at all can be said clearly; and whatever cannot be said must be left to silence.’Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic; of science and mysticism; of what can be said, and what can only be shown. Its austere beauty – along with its famous ‘picture theory’ of meaning – has inspired generations of thinkers, artists, novelists and musicians. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of meaningful expression.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime. In this thrilling new translation, accompanied by a lively introduction by Jan Zwicky, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein's gem-like prose – at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken – of his background in mechanical engineering, while at the same time highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2023\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd.\u003cbr\u003ePages: 144\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780241681954\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0241681952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ludwig Wittgenstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45497176523018,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780241681954.jpg?v=1713624502","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/tractatus-logico-philosophicus-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
