本书是W.V.O．蒯因的第一部哲学论著，由九篇论文结集而成。文中提出了一系列具有独创性和挑战性的观点，如关于何物存在的本体论许诺的学说，关于共相（抽象物）问题上唯名论和实在论之争的折中解决方案（概念论），关于经验论“两个教条”（分析命题和综合命题之分与还原论）的批评和整体主义的知识观，关于意义和指称的区别和对“意义”观念的否定，关于数理逻辑的新基础（NF）以及对内涵（模态）逻辑的批评等，都曾引起广泛而热烈的争论，对当代西方哲学的发展产生了重大的影响。

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus first appeared in 1921 and was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme compression and brilliance, it immediately convinced many of its readers and captivated the imagination of a generation of philosophers. Influencing the Logical positivists of the 1920s and 1930s, the book later went to grip the minds of many other philosophers, convincing many that propositions were pictures of reality. In this edition, David Pears and Brian McGuinness have completely revised their translation based upon Wittgenstein's own suggestions and comments in his correspondence with C. K. Ogden, Wittgenstein's first translator. In addition, this edition contain the introduction by Bertrand Russell which appeared in the original English.
