Comments on Tractatus-Philosophicus

You read things and you want to vent about it. Wittgenstein has been on my bedside table forever (which means for me that I totally ignore it). But every so often I'll pick up something or read online. So I'm going to do another interlinear comment stream on a classic, Wittgenstein's Tractatus. I am not a scholar of philosophy, but I am interested, have read naively a fair amount, and have lot's of comments that have built up over the years.

My main online source is:

   http://www.kfs.org/~jonathan/witt/tlph.html

a hypertext version with original German, and the Ogden English translation, and Russell's introduction.

Other sources are:

   the PDF of side-by-side German and two English translations

So coming soon are my interlinear comments plus some thematic comments.
