Welcome to The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project! Our aim is to make available as many of Wittgenstein's works as possible free of charge and with a free licence.
On 1 January 2022, Wittgenstein's works entered the public domain in those countries where rights expire 70 years after the death of the author: this includes most of the European Union, Africa, Asia and Oceania, most Latin American Countries and Canada.
Starting from that date, The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project provides complete, well-formatted, downloadable, free books: the German or English originals as well as translations in multiple languages that were purpose-made by our team.
