The essence of logical atomism

Hume and Wittgenstein

Bogusław Wolniewicz

pp. 106-111

In philosophy Wittgenstein's Tractatus is the book of the century, in contradistinction also to his Philosophical Investigations which are a pathetic flop. The ideas of the Tractatus are clear and grand, admitting of all kind of development and opening wide fields of logico-philosophical inquiry. The confused and inconclusive ramblings of the Philosophical Investigations are a blind alley leading nowhere.
