As is well known, Wittgenstein published only one philosophical book during his lifetime, the ''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus''. Since his death in 1951, numerous writings have been published posthumously by his trustees – with more or less editorial modifications, depending on the condition of the manuscripts and typescripts. In Wittgenstein scholarship, this has repeatedly given rise to discussion, criticism and, in some cases, new (also digital) editions, translations and collections. Now, 70 years after Wittgenstein’s death, his writings enter the public domain in many countries, which will significantly affect the way they can be accessed and dealt with.
