Wittgenstein, Ludwig: Wiener Ausgabe Band 6Taschennotizbücher 1931–32. Anmerkungen
In the preface to the "Tractatus", Wittgenstein writes: "If this work has a value, it consists in two things. First, in the fact that thoughts are expressed in it, and this value will be the greater, the better the thoughts are expressed. The more the nail is hit on the head." This specification is particularly visible in Wittgenstein's pocket notebooks, where his remarks often exist in multiple versions, mostly in erratic succession, in a kind of status nascendi. The notebooks preceding the manuscript volumes VI to IX (WA3 to WA5), MSS 153a, 153b, 154, and 155, dating from 1931 to 1932, have been preserved and are published for the first time in this volume. In transferring them to the manuscript volumes, Wittgenstein changes the sequence of the remarks, with the purpose, as he writes in the preface to the "Philosophical Investigations", "that in them the thoughts should progress from one object to another in a natural and unbroken sequence". And this is often accompanied by further specification, not least in a poetic sense, for, as Wittgenstein writes: "To write the right style is to set the wagon exactly on the track." [March 2, 1940]
