Ludwig Wittgenstein on meaning
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) approaches meaning within analytic philosophy. The Tractatus connects meaningful propositions to logical form; later work explains meaning through language-games and forms of life. Systematically, the teaching links language, logic, mind, meaning into a practical and theoretical whole.
