On 22nd January I got four postcards: two from Austria, one from France and one from Germany.
One of the cards from Austria shows some German words and their Viennese translations.
The stamp shows Ludwig Wittgenstein (issued 19-01-2022). Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century and worked primarily in logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language. During his life his only published book was the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, but more was released pothumously and his estate is nowadays part of the Memory of the World Programme of the UNESCO. The Tractatus was by the way originally published in 1921, but in 1922 the first English translation was published, so this stamp actually commemorates a jubilee.
Thank You very much Anita!
