The 'early Wittgenstein' was concerned with the logical relationship between propositions and the world, and he believed that by providing an account of the logic underlying this relationship, he had solved all philosophical problems. His philosophy is often divided into an early period, exemplified by the Tractatus, and a later period, articulated primarily in the Philosophical Investigations. A survey among American university and college teachers ranked the Investigations as the most important book of 20th-century philosophy, standing out as 'the one crossover masterpiece in twentieth-century philosophy, appealing across diverse specializations and philosophical orientations'. The first and best-known of this posthumous series is the 1953 book Philosophical Investigations. His voluminous manuscripts were edited and published posthumously. His only other published works were an article, ' Some Remarks on Logical Form' (1929) a book review and a children's dictionary.

In spite of his position, during his entire life only one book of his philosophy was published, the 75-page Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung ( Logical-Philosophical Treatise, 1921), which appeared, together with an English translation, in 1922 under the Latin title Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. įrom 1929 to 1947, Wittgenstein taught at the University of Cambridge. He is considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.
