El " Tractatus logico-philosophicus " de Wittgenstein es una de las grandes obras filosóficas del siglo XX. A juzgar por el alcance de su temática y por la profundidad de su pensamiento, no hay más que otras dos obras —inconclusas— que le sean comparables: " Ser y tiempo " de Heidegger e " Investigaciones filosóficas " del propio Wittgenstein. Pero aun en comparación con aquéllas el " Tractatus " resulta cautivador. Es una obra muy breve y está redactada en un estilo epigramático. Se trata de una reflexión que trasluce el carácter del hombre que la escribió y su manera de pensar en el momento de escribirla.
La presente edición está concebida como una guía para la lectura del " Tractatus " , la única obra de Wittgenstein publicada durante la vida del autor. Michael Morris nos ayuda a comprender este breve y a menudo críptico texto, apuntando y analizando los temas clave: la vida de Wittgenstein y su trasfondo en el " Tractatus " ; las ideas y textos del " Tractatus " ; y la importancia y la vigencia que tiene hoy en día en la filosofía la obra de Wittgenstein.
