Bøker av Ludwig Wittgenstein

In this definitive new en face German-English edition, Wittgenstein experts Peter Hacker and Joachim Schulte have incorporated significant editorial changes to earlier editions of Philosophical Investigations in order to reflect more closely Wittgenstein's original intentions.

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, this was the only philosophical work Wittgenstein published during his lifetime.

Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the twentieth century. Michael Beaney's new translation and detailed notes take into account the developments in scholarly understanding of the text.

Der Tractatus logico-philosophicus ist das erste Hauptwerk des österreichischen Philosophen Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wie schon der Titel des Buches verspricht, enthält es zum einen eine logische Theorie, zum anderen legt Wittgenstein darin eine philosophische Methode dar. Sein Hauptanliegen ist es, die Philosophie von Unsinn und Verwirrung zu bereinigen, denn, so LW, ¿die meisten Sätze und Fragen, welche über philosophische Dinge geschrieben worden sind, sind nicht falsch, sondern unsinnig.¿ Gröls-Klassiker (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

"Philosophy", Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote, "should actually be written only as poetry". That Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus-Wittgenstein's master-work, 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 Wittgenstein's enigmatic masterpiece, capturing the fluid and forceful language of the original without sacrificing its philosophical rigour-indeed, making Wittgenstein's philosophy clearer than ever before in English.

Written in code under constant threat of battle, Wittgenstein's searing and illuminating diaries finally emerge in this first-ever English translation

In 1931 Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote his famous Remarks on Frazer's "Golden Bough," published posthumously in 1967. At that time, anthropology and philosophy were in close contact - thinkers drew heavily on anthropology's theoretical terms, in order to help them explore the limits of human belief and imagination. This is a translation of his work.

* Presents long-awaited scholar's edition of important material from 1933, Wittgenstein's first efforts to set out his new thoughts after the publication of the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus.

Completely revised throughout, Culture and Value is a selection from Wittgensteina s notebooks ---- on the nature of art, religion, culture, and the nature of philosophical activity.

This book comprises material on colour which was written by Wittgenstein in the last eighteen months of his life. It is one of the few documents which shows him concentratedly at work on a single philosophical issue. The principal theme is the features of different colours, of different kinds of colour (metallic colour, the colours of flames, etc.) and of luminosity--a theme which Wittgenstein treats in such a way as to destroy the traditional idea that colour is a simple and logically uniform kind of thing.This edition consists of Wittgenstein's basic German text, together with an English translation.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus may be the most important book of philosophy written during the twentieth century. Wittgenstein's writing style is clear, succinct, and accessible. Bertrand Russell claimed that "I cannot see any point on which it is wrong. But to have constructed a theory of logic which is not at any point obviously wrong is to have achieved a work of extraordinary difficulty and importance." Required ready for anyone interested in philosophy.
