Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: A New Translation by Ludwig Wittgenstein Hardcov

Description: Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Damion Searls, Marjorie Perloff Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Appearing a century after its first English-language publication, this newly translated en face edition of Wittgensteins masterpiece reveals a work of exceptional philosophical and literary genius Publisher Description "Philosophy," Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote, "should actually be written only as poetry." That Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus-Wittgensteins masterwork, and the only book he published during his lifetime-endures as the definitive modern text on the limits of logic, inspiring artists and philosophers alike, comes as no surprise. Consisting of 525 hierarchically numbered declarative statements, each one "self-evident," Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is imbued, as translator Damion Searls writes, with the kind of "cryptic grandeur" and "awe-inspiring opacity" we might expect-might want-from such an iconic philosopher. Yet previous translations, in their eagerness to replicate German phrasing and syntax, have a stilted, even redolently Victorian air. With this new translation and an important introduction on the language of the book, prefaced by eminent scholar Marjorie Perloff, Searls finally does justice to Wittgensteins enigmatic masterpiece, capturing the fluid and forceful language of the original without sacrificing its philosophical rigor-indeed, making Wittgensteins philosophy clearer than ever before in English. Author Biography Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) was a world-renowned Austrian-British philosopher. Damion Searls is a prize-winning translator of fifty books from German, French, Norwegian, and Dutch. Liveright published his translation of Rainer Maria Rilkes Letters to a Young Poet in 2020. Born in Vienna, Austria, Marjorie Perloff is the Sadie Dernham Patek Professor Emerita of Humanities at Stanford University, and the author of sixteen books.
