A review by samue_l
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein

4.0

WHEW. I just want my people to know that, no, I did not understand the Tractatus. Well, some of it. I read this for a class I’m taking on Wittgenstein so I feel lucky that the book was taught to me, because let’s be honest, this is not free reading. And this is also not a review. In fact, under a Tractarian doctrine we can’t even write reviews, or make judgements of value, or metaphysical claims, or do anything fun at all without it being nonsense. But old Ludwig breaks his rules, so I suppose I can too.

Highly modernist, incredibly dense, possibly incoherent, with a mean twist of mysticism at the end. This is not your average analytic philosophy. 4/5
