What I love about Searls's translation of the Tractatus is that it captures the literariness of the text. And so, one can better follow the nuanced movement and construction. This is not just another translation.

Synopsis
"What I love about Searls's translation of the Tractatus is that it captures the literariness of the text. And so, one can better follow the nuanced movement and construction. This is not just another translation." --Percival Everett Appearing a century after its first English-language publication, this newly translated edition of Wittgenstein's masterpiece reveals a work of exceptional philosophical and literary genius., More than a century after its composition, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus --Wittgenstein's first masterwork, and the only book he published during his lifetime--endures as the definitive modern text on what logic can and cannot do. Since its first English-language publication in 1922, this profoundly enigmatic work has inspired philosophers and non-philosophers alike. Consisting of 525 hierarchically numbered statements, each one "self-evident," Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is imbued, as translator Damion Searls writes, with the kind of cryptic grandeur and awe-inspiring opacity we might expect--might want--from such an iconic philosopher. Yet earlier translations, in their efforts to excessively copy German phrasing and syntax, range from stilted, even redolently Victorian, to downright impenetrable. With this new translation and insightful introduction on the language of the book, Searls finally does justice to Wittgenstein's masterpiece, capturing the fluid and forceful prose of the original without sacrificing any of its philosophical rigor. Indeed, in freeing the translation from the grip of the German language--revisiting, especially, the nouns and impersonal verbs that don't convey in English the precision and intensity of the German--Searls renders Wittgenstein's philosophy clearer and more accessible than ever before. Featuring a preface by eminent Wittgenstein scholar Marjorie Perloff, this bilingual, facing-page edition promises to become the standard for generations to come., More than a century after its composition, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus-Wittgenstein's first masterwork, and the only book he published during his lifetime-endures as the definitive modern text on what logic can and cannot do.

- e***_ (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
