Ludwig Wittgenstein on limits
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) approaches limits within analytic philosophy. The Tractatus links meaningful propositions to logical pictures of states of affairs and consigns ethics and the mystical to silence beyond sense. Later work rejects a single essence of language: meaning is use within language-games embedded in forms of life. On this page, the archive isolates English passages where that project meets limits most directly—useful for searches such as “ludwig wittgenstein quotes on limits.”
