Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus

An exquisite, lyrical reimagining of Wittgenstein's philosophical work of 1922, from a rising star on par with Inger ChristensenLudwig Wittgenstein's

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, often noted as the most important philosophical work of the 20th century, had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality, and to define the limits of science.Following on from Wittgenstein 100 years later, Signe Gjessing updates and reimagines the

Tractatus, marrying poetry with philosophy to test the boundaries of reality. Stunning, knowing, and revitalising, and glinting with stars, silk, and ecstasy, this is poetry which exacts the logical consequence of philosophy, while locating beauty and significance in the nonsense of the world.
