“Variations on Silence: Reading the Tractatus” is a version of Jan Zwicky’s introduction to Alexander Booth’s new translation of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, recently published by Penguin Classics. It was published in Brick 112, the Winter 2024 issue, by kind permission of Penguin Random House. Translations of passages from the Tractatus draw on translations by Alexander Booth or D. F. Pears & B. F. McGuinness, often with minor alterations.
