Wittgenstein is unique in having produced two major philosophical works that each revolutionized the field. His Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus argued that the limits of language are the limits of the world.
His later Philosophical Investigations rejected much of his earlier work, developing the concept of "language games" and arguing that meaning is determined by use. His work fundamentally shaped analytic philosophy and the philosophy of language.
"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."
— Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1921
"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
— Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1921
