100th Birthday of Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein was born on April 26, 1889 the last of eight children of an industrialist. Heavily impressed by experiences gained during voluntary military service in the course of the First World War, he turned away from the world of big industry which until then was ever-present in the figure of his father. From then on he lived as an ascetic devoted to the contemplation of the world's eternal and immutable structures. He ranks as one of the main founders of that which is today described in the broadest sense as language philosophy. Already during the First World War he drew up his famous "Logic-Philosophical Discourse", the "Tract". Depth and transparency contributed decidedly to the philosophy's further development as an "adventure of the spirit".
