Wittgenstein

What are your opinions on his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus?

I read it twice. It's a very short read and presented in nice indented logical form. I didn't understand a few of the more complex logical statements but I just skipped over them and gave him the benefit of the doubt. In the end I felt that I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already read in Nietzsche, particularly in The Will To Power, though it was worded differently.

It is very interesting that.
Can you tell me in more details one or two examples ?

I found the book interesting. I didn't see the connection to will to power but I read W to P long ago. I read TLP a couple of times and listened to it in audio. I got that kind of stepping up feeling but went nowhere and was left wanting to read it again to understand. I find his books with philosophical remarks much more clear and thought provoking.
