The Tractatus and Logic today

The author of the Tractatus intended it to be a mystical document that,
by annexing logical discourse, allowed mysticism to triumph over the
best that a logico-materialist view of the world had to offer against
the mystical vision. This is why it makes uncanny reading. For
Wittgenstein embraced the standard set of movements of the familiar
objects of a formalised logic and everyday world and yet without
sacrificing their rationale, drew limits to their applicability which
in turn, allowed the introduction of the 'objects' of mysticism. In
furtherance of mysticism and acting against the logico-materialist
view, Wittgenstein used logic itself to destroy its own lauded
position.

This is why the vision of the Tractatus has not been surpassed in this
regard. For logicists routinely fail to acknowledge or investigate the
philosophy of their discipline and in consequence allow the unexplored
limitations inherent in logic to enforce an improper, stunted view of
the world.
