Ludwig Wittgenstein Ludwig Wittgenstein is considered one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century, having produced two distinct and revolutionary philosophical visions in his short career. His early Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) argued that language mirrors the logical structure of the world, while his later Philosophical Investigations (1953) overturned this view, proposing instead that meaning arises from rule-governed use within "language-games." Together, his works defined the contours of analytic philosophy and the philosophy of language for generations.
