It is ...Brent - congrats on tackling the Tractatus. It is no small accomplishment. I'd recommend picking up some of his later work - particularly the Philosophical Investigations and On Certainty. He modifies some of his previous positions in the Tractatus, (moving away from logical atomism, developing the highly influential concept of "language games", etc.) and I found them both considerably easier to read. They are still in the numbered propositional form, but they are not one sentence propositions, he uses a ton more illustrations, and drops the whole truth table business. <br />Anywho, best of luck with your readings. <br />-Joeljoelchopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278306152265483260noreply@blogger.com
