Zettel. Notes

Zettel is a collection of notes by Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), written from 1929 to 1948 and personally selected by him as the most significant for his philosophy. Perhaps the collection was intended for further publication or use in other works.... The notes address all the main themes that occupied Wittgenstein throughout these years and until his death. The formulations of key questions and possible answers - what is language, proposition, meaning of a word, language games, everydayness, machine, pain, color, learning to use words, and much more - are presented in this collection of notes as clearly as possible for Wittgenstein, multifaceted and not without literary elegance. Zettel is a crucial source for understanding his philosophy and the potential it holds for philosophical work today.
