Klagge\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367466336, 978-0367466336\nSynopsis\nLudwig Wittgensteins brief Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [tel] is one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century, yet it offers little orientation for the reader. The first-time reader is left wondering what it could be about, and the scholar is left with little guidance for interpretation.\n\nIn Tractatus in Context, James C. Klagge presents the vital background necessary for appreciating Wittgensteins gnomic masterpiece. Tractatus in Context contains the early reactions to the Tractatus, including the initial reviews written in [tel]. And while we cant talk with Wittgenstein, we can do the next best thinghear what he had to say about the Tractatus. Klagge thus presents what Wittgenstei.
