Bøger af 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.

Forlaget Virkelig præsenterer den navnkundige filosofs berømte dagbøger fra midten af 30'erne i en flot dansk oversættelse af Jørgen Herman Monrad og Judyta Preis. Det er både gribende og oplysende læsning, hvor man, udover at få nogle af tankerne bag Wittgensteins filosofi, også møder et menneske med alt, hvad dertil hører af glæder og sorger, dæmoner, tro og tvivl. Wittgenstein både tænkte og skrev helt formidabelt. Bogen er desuden forsynet med et biografisk funderet efterord af Jørgen Herman Monrad.

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.

Åben for det metafysiske, men afvisende over for den systematiske metafysik, fastholder Wittgenstein at etikken er transcendental og uudsigelig per de nition. Således afskåret fra at kunne forklare hvorfor noget er godt i denne verden, kan han sammenfatte sin etik i følgende konstatering: »Når noget er godt, er det også guddommeligt

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers. For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. He famously summarized the book in the following words: 'What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.'

Ludwig Wittgenstein is considered by many to be one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. He was born in Vienna to an incredibly rich family, but he gave away his inheritance and spent his life alternating between academia and various other roles, including serving as an officer during World War I and a hospital porter during World War II. When in academia Wittgenstein was taught by Bertrand Russell, and he himself taught at Cambridge.He began laying the groundwork for Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while in the trenches, and published it after the end of the war. It has since come to be considered one of the most important works of 20th century philosophy. After publishing it, Wittgenstein concluded that it had solved all philosophical problems¿so he never published another book-length work in his lifetime.The book itself is divided into a series of short, self-evident statements, followed by sub-statements elucidating on their parent statement, sub-sub-statements, and so on. These statements explore the nature of philosophy, our understanding of the world around us, and how language fits in to it all. These views later came to be known as ¿Logical Atomism.¿This translation, while credited to C. K. Ogden, is actually mostly the work of F. P. Ramsey, one of Ogden¿s students. Ramsey completed the translation when he was just 19 years of age. The translation was personally revised and approved by Wittgenstein himself, who, though he was Austrian, had spent much of his life in England.Much of the Tractatus¿ meaning is complex and difficult to unpack. It is still being interpreted and explored to this day.

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.

2014 Reprint of 1956 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Published in English and German with each text presented on opposing pages. "Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics" are Wittgenstein's notes on the philosophy of mathematics. It has been translated from German to English by G.E.M. Anscombe, edited by G.H. von Wright and Rush Rhees, and published first in 1956. The text has been produced from passages in various sources by selection and editing. The notes have been written during the years 1937-1944 and a few passages are incorporated in the "Philosophical Investigations" which were composed later. Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics is exposed chiefly by simple examples on which further skeptical comments are made. The text offers an extended analysis of the concept of mathematical proof and an exploration of Wittgenstein's contention that philosophical considerations introduce false problems in mathematics. Wittgenstein in the "Remarks" adopts an attitude of doubt in opposition to much orthodoxy in the philosophy of mathematics. Wittgenstein's influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and the social sciences, though many of his views remain controversial. Wittgenstein's work remains, undeniably, now, that of one of those few philosophers who will be read by all future generations. It is by far the richest twentieth-century source of philosophical ideas, which it will take us more decades yet properly to apprehend and to absorb; despite the difficulty with which his work presents the reader, there is nothing that is likely to be more rewarding. The philosophy of mathematics was one of his earliest and most persistent preoccupations.... The present edition is a selection from seven distinct pieces of writing by Wittgenstein prior to his death in 1951.

First published originally in German in 1921, "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" is the only book-length philosophical work by Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Based upon notes made during his time serving in World War I, the treatise is composed of 526 numbered declarative statements that are presented without argument and were seen by Wittgenstein as being self-evident. Wittgenstein's style is succinct and sparse and his ideas are presented in a highly logical, organized, and scientific manner. Wittgenstein proposes that the solution to all major philosophical problems can be solved only with logic and a scientific analysis of language and its meaning. His idea that philosophy is not about metaphysics and mysticism, but about critical and rational thought led to a massive shift in philosophical theories after its publication. The treatise was influential with many of the "logical positivists" of the Vienna Circle, such as Rudolf Carnap and Friedrich Waismann, and to philosophers such as Bertrand Russell. Considered one of the most significant and influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, this treatise is an important read for any student of the history of language and ideas. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

The volume is full of thought-provoking insight which will prove a stimulus both to further study and to scholarly disagreement.

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