Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ludwig Wittgenstein was an influential 20th-century philosopher known for his work on the philosophy of language and the limits of thought. He is best known for two major works, the 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' and 'Philosophical Investigations', where he explored the nature of meaning, understanding, and the complexities of human language. Wittgenstein's philosophical inquiries challenged traditional views and encouraged a more nuanced understanding of how language shapes our reality. Despite his profound impact on philosophy, he published very little during his lifetime and lived a modest life, eschewing wealth and academia in favor of more ordinary pursuits.
Born on Apr 26, 1889 (135 years old)
