Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus | Ludwig Wittgenstein
In this 1921 opus, Wittgenstein defined the object of philosophy as the logical clarification of thoughts and proposed the solution to most philosophic problems by means of a critical method of linguistic analysis. Beginning with the principles of symbolism, the author applies his theories to traditional philosophy, and more. Introduction by Bertrand Russell.

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.
