The Tractatus Logico Philosophicus as a departure from continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory

The podcast episode delves into the significance of Ludwig Wittgenstein's work, the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus. Unlike previous episodes that focused on continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory, this episode explores a departure from those frameworks. Wittgenstein's book, the only one he published in his lifetime, offers a concise and dense exploration of modernism and modern philosophy. The episode highlights the key theme of Wittgenstein's work, which is to articulate a philosophy of understanding the world. The goal of the text is to navigate the limitations of language and logic, analyzing what can and cannot be said, and emphasizing the importance of what is not said.
