Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Ludwig Wittgenstein · 1921
Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Are the limits of our language the limits of our world?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this thin, difficult book, I was captivated by the cold beauty of its propositions, arranged like mathematical formulas. Wittgenstein boldly cuts away the philosophical errors that arise when we strain to speak of what cannot be spoken. Once the boundary of the world that language can hold is drawn, paradoxically the place of all that is mysterious and precious beyond it stands out more sharply.

— ONGO · Curator
"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
"말할 수 없는 것에 대해서는 침묵해야 한다."
