Descrição: This renewed edition of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, exactly a century after Wittgensteins release, presents the text in a hierarchical manner, which is the way in which the book was composed and in which Wittgenstein arranged (selected and supplemented) the best of the philosophical remarks that he had been writing since 1913 (Peter Hacker). That tree-like reading is recommended by Wittgenstein himself in the sole footnote of his book, in which he suggests that the inner logical structure of the text is set by the decimal numbers of its propositions. They alone - the Author will add - give the book perspicuity and clearness, and without this numbering it would be an incomprehensible jumble. Indeed, the compact and intricate sequence of the traditional presentation is only a rigorous logical bet, but only a logical machine or a robot can unravel the tangle: for an ordinary human understanding that does not exploit its numbering, the book remains an incomprehensible jumble. In the present disposition, instead, all horizontal and vertical references become directly manifest and any reader can enjoy the fine architecture and the elegant reasoning of Wittgensteins work. Every page is an actual reading unit, perfectly coherent and complete. The Tractatus becomes comprehensible also to unskilled readers, of course at more or less deep levels, while a scholar or a more practised reader can detect suggestions and meanings that had remained, until now, completely hidden. A historical note shows in which manner the new structural perspective sheds new light also in the compositional manuscript we have, which writing units are very similar, actually, to the pages of the present edition. Besides, this allows to rebuild the list of Supplements (here in the Appendix) that Wittgenstein gathered after he roughly finished his manuscript, but that he used very little in the final book. Printing the Tractatus following Wittgensteins decimal prescriptions required m
