Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus | Ludwig Wittgenstein, Wittgenstein Ludwig Wittgenstein
Published originally in 1921 this book is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. This discussion on philosophical thought can be summed up in this quote from the beginning of the book. "what can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence."

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus | Ludwig Wittgenstein

Can we really be laconic? It seems we can say things in a highly structured and cerebral way, and that's a good thing. But the place of such philosophy in the world is am mystery. We know that poetry is pithy, but it is not structured like this and it doesn't explore the idea that is somehow present in our minds this way; but we think about that idea. Maybe the logical business is just a dream, but that's unsatisfactory. I guess its just great.

It's one of the best impractical book i've ever read.
