About the Authors

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an Austrian philosopher who revolutionized the field of logic and language, establishing himself as one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers within his lifetime. Though publishing little, Wittgenstein produced groundbreaking early work on logical atomism and later forged contemporary language philosophy.
