About this listen

The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein is a foundational philosophical work that explores the relationship between language, reality, and thought. It is structured as a series of concise, numbered propositions. Wittgenstein argues that the world consists of facts, which can be represented by propositions in logical language. His central claim is that language can only meaningfully discuss what can be clearly expressed—anything outside this, like ethics, aesthetics, or metaphysics, lies beyond meaningful language. The work famously concludes with the idea: “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent,” emphasizing the limits of what can be said.
