The Tractatus was one of the most mindbending yet poetic pieces of philosophy I have ever read. I fell into a Philosophy class as a graduate student studying the development of Modernism. Wittgenstein gave me a whole new outlook on Modernism, and the foundations of modernist thought, and for that I am most thankful.
The Tractatus is quite simply outstanding and then after that along comes another outstanding piece of work, the Philosophical Investigations. I must have read it five or six times now.
Keynes once went to meet Wittgenstein at a station and later said of him, “Well, God has arrived. I met him on the 5.15 train.”
