Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Wittgenstein was a PhD student at Cambridge in 1929. He had finished the book he had been writing as a prisoner of war in Italy in 1918, and he decided to turn his back on philosophy. He would support himself with honest work.
#2 The Tractatus is a book by Ludwig Wittgenstein, written in 1922, that attempts to draw a boundary between the propositions in our language that are meaningful and those that are not. It is no coincidence that the book ends with the aphorism 7. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent.
#3 Russell's question was whether someone could be helped through a sequence of nonsense propositions to a correct vision of the world. Wittgenstein said that it was impossible to make everything comprehensible to everyone.
#4 In 1927, Heidegger wrote his book Being and Time, which laid the foundation for his return to his alma mater, Freiburg, where he became the chairman of philosophy. He was never one among many.
