List works of Ludwig Wittgenstein
Posthumous except for three works, the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein is nevertheless philosophically one of most important XXe century. After the Tractatus , Some remarks on the logical form , and a Wörterbuch für Volkschulen , Wittgenstein had prepared the publication of some of its manuscripts by instructing its three executors to publish them. Works of the philosopher however extend beyond the few works for which it had taken care to give instructions. Rush Rhees, Georg Henrik von Wright, and G.E. Mr. Anscombe were thus not restricted to follow the will of their former companion, and their work of edition (then continued by others) extended well beyond that.
The absence of publication of living of Wittgenstein making the presentation chronological sometimes prone to guarantee, we give here the works in the order where they were published and not in that where where they were written. A reconstituted chronology is available at the end of the article.
