The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus first appeared in 1921 and was
the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)
published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered
paragraphs of extreme compression and brilliance, it immediately
convinced many of its readers and captured the imagination of all.
Its chief influence, at first, was on the Logical Positivists of
the 1920s and 1930s, but many other philosophers were stimulated by
its philosophy of language, finding attractive, even if ultimately
unsatisfactory, its view that propositions were pictures of
reality. Perhaps most of all, its own author, after his return to
philosophy in the late 1920s, was fascinated by its vision of an
inexpressible, crystalline world of logical relationships. C.K.
Ogden's translation of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus has a
unique provenance. As revealed in Letters of C.K. Ogden (1973) and
in correspondence in The Times Literary Supplement, Wittgenstein,
Ramsey and Moore all worked with Ogden on the translation, which
had Wittgenstein's complete approval.
