Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung – Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
1921 – 2021
A Series of Centennial Lectures
The Joint Research Center in Logic of Tsinghua University and the University of Amsterdam (http://tsinghualogic.net/JRC) announces a series of ten lectures in commemoration of the fact that in 2021 it is a hundred years ago that Ludwig Wittgenstein’s seminal book Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung – Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus first appeared, in Ostwald’s Annalen der Naturphilosophie.
The lectures will be given by renowned scholars and will focus on various aspects of the Tractatus: ways of reading the text; the role played by logic; the connections with ethics; the impact the book has had; and the context in which it was written.
The series is organised by Hao Tang ([email protected]) and Martin Stokhof ([email protected]).
