Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers. For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. He famously summarized the book in the following words: 'What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.' David Pears and Brian McGuinness received the highest praise for their meticulous translation. The work is prefaced by Bertrand Russell's original introduction to the first English edition.

    Does logic exist, if it existed, could it be perfect?

    Wittgenstein wanted to be perfect. He wanted to write the perfect book, and his first attempt was so perfect that it was almost impossible to understand. Ten years later he wrote another book to take back almost all the things said in the tractatus, but it is still a fascinating book about logic
