A selection of books by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Here is a fine selection of books by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein was an uncompromising philosopher. He struggled with philosophy rather than colleagues and he dismissed large part of his works, insisting on refining his ideas and conclusions. Hes greatest contributions to philosophy lies in his systematic study of the connection between language, logic, individual and society. Wittgenstein preferred ordinary language over philosophical language because he believed that philosophical language in itself creates problems of definitions. This approach is reflected in his writing, which makes his books accessible for most of us.
