Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was informed
by the belief that it was possible to get clarity once and for all
on fundamental philosophical issues, and so to think our way to a
silence where philosophy was no longer necessary. This is The New
Tractatus: it sympathizes with Wittgenstein's impatience with the
endless cycle of argument, but reacts to this impatience and takes
it in different directions than Wittgenstein did. Wittgenstein was
concerned with questions like these: What is the meaning of
language? What is our relationship to the universe? What is the
nature of philosophy? These questions are covered in The New
Tractatus, along with many other topics, such as: Why is sex a
controversial issue? Why are we so interested in celebrities? What
is the nature of love? Why do liberals and conservatives argue
about so many things? What is magic? Can miracles occur? Is science
objective? Does art lie to us? How do we win arguments? What is the
meaning of life? What The New Tractatus shares with the old is the
fundamental perception that we can never transcend what is. The
world is all that is the case: whatever comes to be is part of the
world.
