A collection of influential writings by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. LW considers the relationships of formal logic, philosophy, and natural language. Formal logic can be coherent but is severely limited in what it can say. Natural language is fluid and meaning evolves within 'language games.' Philosophy gets confused about the difference, and from this confusion springs many of the so-called 'hardest' problems of philosophy. Which aren't really problems, according to LW, so much as misapplied grammar.
