The Private Notebooks of Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1914, 1916

Book •
The Private Notebooks of Ludwig Wittgenstein, spanning 1914-1916, offer a profound insight into the philosopher's early thoughts and development during World War I. Serving as a precursor to his later influential works, the notebooks explore themes of logic, ethics, and the nature of language.

Wittgenstein grapples with fundamental questions about the relationship between language, thought, and reality.

The notebooks reveal his evolving understanding of the limits of language and its capacity to represent the world.

They provide a glimpse into the formative stages of Wittgenstein's revolutionary ideas that would later shape twentieth-century philosophy.
