"Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein" (; ; 26 April 1889 – 29 April 1951) was an Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. From 1929–1947, Wittgenstein taught at the University of Cambridge. During his lifetime he published just one slim book, the 75-page Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921), one article, one book review and a children's dictionary.For his publications during his lifetime, see Ray Monk/Monk, R., How to read Wittgenstein. W.W. Norton & Company. 2005, p. 5.
