'''The Wittgenstein Project is a multilingual website whose aim is to make available as many of Ludwig Wittgenstein's works as possible, free of charge and with a free license.'''

Excellent academic resources exist which provide a transcription of ~~Wittgenstein's~~ ''Nachlass'' ([http://wab.uib.no/transform/wab.php?modus=opsjoner WAB]) and even scans of some of Wittgenstein's notes and manuscripts ([http://www.wittgensteinsource.org/ Wittgenstein Source]).

Excellent academic resources exist which provide a transcription of the ''Nachlass'' ([http://wab.uib.no/transform/wab.php?modus=opsjoner WAB]) and even scans of some of Wittgenstein's handwritten notes and manuscripts ([http://www.wittgensteinsource.org/ Wittgenstein Source]). However, those are mostly helpful for researchers who need to dive deep into the "raw" Wittgenstein; conversely, they are little use for the general public, for students, or for anyone who would step into a bookshop and want to buy a copy of the ''Tractatus'' or the ''Philosophical investigation'', in the original or in translation.

The Wittgenstein Project provides complete, well-formatted, easy-to-export, free texts in multiple language. Our vision is that of removing the paywall between the researcher, at any level, and the text.
