The Mystical in Wittgenstein's Early Writings

by James R. Atkinson

The aim of this book is to consider what reasonably follows from the hypothesis that the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can be interpreted from a mystical point of view. Atkinson intends to elucidate Wittgenstein’s thoughts on the mystical in his early writings as they pertain to a number of topics such as, God, the meaning of life, reality, the eternal and the solipsistic self.

This project has examined a number of passages that could be interpreted in terms of two realities: Wirklichkeit and Realität, the world of facts and the world of experience, what can be said and what cannot be said, and how the world is and that it is.
