  • Summary

  • In this episode we dive deep into Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s groundbreaking and famously cryptic work on logic, language, and reality. Written mostly during World War I, the Tractatus attempts nothing less than to define the relationship between thought, language, and the structure of the world itself. We explore Wittgenstein’s bold claims, from “The world is everything that is the case” to the enigmatic final proposition “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”

    Join us as we untangle the key ideas, discuss how this slim book reshaped twentieth century philosophy, and why its influence still echoes today. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher or a curious newcomer, this is your guide to understanding one of philosophy’s most intriguing and challenging masterpieces.
