title: Elucidating the Tractatus: Wittgenstein's Early Philosophy of Logic and Language
author:  Marie McGinn 
description: <br />"A highly interesting contribution to the debate on Wittgenstein's philosophy. McGinn has done an important job in showing how a reading that accepts as its starting point Diamond's critique of the traditional interpretation is perfectly capable indeed, well positioned to describe the <em>Tractatus</em> as a contribution to logic and the philosophy of logic. With respect to its elucidation of the <em>Tractatus</em>' views on logic, McGinn's book is pretty much the book on Wittgenstein's early philosophy I always wanted to read as a student, but was never able to find. Happily, the book did not come too late for me, and it is certainly not only recommended reading for students. Not only did I learn a great deal from this book, but reading it was also a pleasure."--Oskari Kuusela, <em>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</em>
