Author : Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein was a groundbreaking philosopher of the 20th century, renowned for his profound impact on the philosophy of language, logic, and the mind. Born in Vienna in 1889 to a wealthy family, he initially studied engineering before turning to philosophy, where he would ultimately challenge conventional views through his seminal works. His early work, the "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus," sought to establish a logical structure of language, but his later writings, particularly in "Philosophical Investigations," showcased a radical shift toward examining the everyday use of language and the complexities of human practices. Wittgenstein's unique approach emphasized that meaning arises from the context of language games, leading to a deep exploration of how we communicate, understand, and interact with the world. His influence extends across various fields, and he remains a central figure in contemporary philosophical discourse, inspiring countless thinkers and debates.
