Tractatus of course. PI is in response to what he wrote in Tractatus and why he doesn't think it's comprehensive enough

you can just read this thing man

can't think of too many philosophy texts i can say that about either

Augustine, and that goes for all of Witty's stuff.

they try to say that logic and philosophy are both useless and should be annoyed. He supports these arguments mostly with logic and some philosophy which he forges together in the fire of pure autistic genius and concludes that philosophy is a waste of time. What a fucking surprise.

don't listen to these retards

just read it, if you don't understand it then read whatever you need to

also someone explain the private language argument to me

>>7364729
not really

But Frege was wrong about everything though.
