Reading Tractatus, Understanding Wittgenstein

At 6.54 of Tractatus, Wittgenstein writes: "My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical." A task is thereby set for the reader, that of learning to read the Tractatus so as to understand its author. Two ways of reading are of concern here, the "ineffability" reading and the "resolute" reading, neither of which is without problems. The aim is to diagnose key confusions underlying these readings and to begin to outline a viable alternative.
