I'm looking more for prose that weaves the most complex thoughts, the most abyssal.

Oh.

I think you would like Time Out of Joint, by Philip K. Dick, renowned science-fiction author. Trust me on that one, you'll love it.

How does one actually read tractatus logico philosophicus, out of curiosity? School of life said it was about the complexities of human communication, but ironically his message doesn't seem communicated well in his writing.

Step one: Open book
Step two: Read book

Not so simple for the tractatus, I'm afraid. Although it was published, it was written more as a set of notes to accompany ol' Witty's correspondences with various soon-to-be logical positivists. It's quite difficult to understand without that context. Various students of his wrote exegetical texts to help demystify the whole thing, but even they tend to diverge quite a bit.

Does anyone who isn't a philosopher or in some sort of class just pick this up and read it and understand it with a total layman's knowledge?
