Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher)

Ludwig Wittgenstein was a 20th-century philosopher known for his work on the relationship between language and reality. His two main works, the "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" and "Philosophical Investigations," explore how language shapes our understanding of the world. Wittgenstein argued that many philosophical problems arise from misunderstandings of language. He emphasized that meaning is found in how words are used in everyday contexts, rather than in fixed definitions. His ideas significantly influenced modern philosophy, linguistics, and how we think about communication, meaning, and the nature of understanding.
