Summary: First edition of the earliest surviving text by Wittgenstein, his philosophical diary kept while he was writing the Tractatus. It was first published here, with three appendices, as the fourth and final volume of Blackwell's edition of Wittgenstein's collected works. 'Most of the notebooks containing [Wittgenstein's] preliminary work, belonging to all his periods of writing, were destroyed by his orders in 1950. These included a large number of notebooks from the time of germination of the Tractatus. Three of these last survived, however, by the accident of having been left in the house of his youngest sister, Mrs. Stonborough, at Gmunden, instead of in Vienna. They were written in the years 1914-16 when Wittgenstein was 25-7 years old. The first two are continuous. They form the main body of the present volume.
