Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is an
unquestioned philosophical masterpiece. It is a work of extreme
compression. Within a compass of twenty thousand words, and in
cryptic and elliptical sentences, Wittgenstein writes of the nature
of the universe, the essence of language, the foundations of logic
and mathematics, theories of probability, philosophical method, and
the work of Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege. Finding it
difficult, if not distasteful, to force philosophical thoughts and
insights into a linear deductive order, Wittgenstein also makes
scattered comments about the philosophy of science, ethics,
religion, and mysticism. In A Companion to Wittgenstein's
"Tractatus," the distinguished philosopher Max Black provides
students with a collocation of scattered passages and a close
commentary on the text. This brilliant book allows readers to fully
apprehend the value of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as both a
unique text and as the foundation for much subsequent work in
philosophy.
