Logic and Language in Wittgensteins Tractatus

This historical study investigates Ludwig Wittgensteins early philosophy of logic and language, as it is presented in his <em>Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus</em>. The study makes a case for the <em>Tractatus</em> as an insightful critique of the philosophies of Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege-the Founding Fathers of analytic philosophy.
