Reading

Wittgenstein's main works are these:

• Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, translated by D.F. Pears and B.F. McGuinness (Routledge and Kegan Paul, London 1961). His early classic.
• The Blue and Brown Books, (Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1969). From his middle period, these are preliminary studies for his later work.
• Philosophical Investigations, translated by G.E.M. Anscombe (Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1963). His late classic.
• On Certainty, edited by G.E.M. Anscombe and G.H. von Wright, translated by Denis Paul and G.E.M. Anscombe (Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1979). Like many of Wittgenstein's works, this was compiled after his death from notes he had made. In this case the notes come from the last year and a half of his life.

Works of more general interest by Wittgenstein include these:

• Culture and Value, translated by Peter Winch (Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1980). These are notes from throughout Wittgenstein's life dealing with all kinds of topics hinted at by its title, including music, literature, philosophy, religion and the value of silliness.
• Lectures and Conversations on Aesthetics, Psychology and Religious Belief, edited by Cyril Barrett (Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1966). For 'psychology' read 'Freud', otherwise the title is explanation enough. Hilary Putnam has recommended the section on religion as a valuable introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy as a whole.

• Ray Monk Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius (Jonathan Cape, London 1990), which is full of enlightening detail.
• Norman Malcolm Ludwig Wittgenstein: A Memoir (Oxford University Press, Oxford and New York 1984), which is much shorter and includes material from G.H. von Wright as well

Quotations

"Was sich überhaupt sagen lässt, lässt sich klar sagen; und woven man nicht reden kann, darüber muss man schweigen". What can be said at all can be said clearly; and whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent. Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, (1922), preface.
