The whole sense of the book might be summed up the following words: what can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus the aim of the book is to draw a limit to thought, or rather-not to thought, but to the expression of thoughts: for in order to be able to draw a limit to thought, we should have to find both sides of the limit thinkable (i.e. we should have to be able to think what cannot be thought).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will therefore only be in language that the limit can be drawn, and what lies on the other side of the limit will simply be nonsense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI do not wish to judge how far my efforts coincide with those of other philosophers. Indeed, what I have written here makes no claim to novelty in detail, and the reason why I give no sources is that it is a matter of indifference to me whether the thoughts that I have had have been anticipated by someone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI will only mention that I am indebted to Frege's great works and to the writings of my friend Mr. Bertrand Russell for much of the stimulation of my thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this work has any value, it consists in two things: the first is that thoughts are expressed in it, and on this score the better the thoughts are expressed-the more the nail has been hit on the head-the greater will be its value.-Here I am conscious of having fallen a long way short of what is possible. Simply because my powers are too slight for the accomplishment of the task.-May others come and do it better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand the truth of the thoughts that are here communicated seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL.W.
