<p class="p-home">The Wittgenstein Project is a non-for-profit endeavor. We rely on the voluntary work of a group of academics and experts who helped transcribe, format, proofread, translate Wittgenstein's works. We are always looking forward to having more people involved in the project: if you are a translator, a Wittgenstein scholar, a legal expert, or if you would like to help by proofreading the texts, please do not hesitate to [[Project:Contacts|contac us]]! We will be delighted to welcome you on board.</p> | |||
