Beautiful book. That said, I maybe understood about half of what Ludwig was getting at. Even if you do not scrupulously examine and tussle over every logical/mathematical proposition (many of which are simply beyond the immediate reach of a layman), Wittgenstein clarifies his points with plainly-spoken elucidations throughout. It is a very difficult but rewarding read that heroically tries to eliminate literally every problem that can be described as purely philosophical.
"The solution of the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem. (Is not this the reason why men to whom after long doubting the sense of life became clear, could not then say wherein this sense consisted?)"
