Summary:	Wittgenstein''s Tractatus - the only book he actually published within his lifetime - was an immensely important work which changed the direction of philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century.

In Wittgenstein''s ''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus'': A Reader''s Guide, Roger White provides.
