Hello,

I started to read Wittgenstein's Tractatus logico-philosophicus but was stopped by some formal logic notation. What would you recommend I should read to understand the notation ? Thank you in advance !

There's this:

But it is not really for first readers.

There are various guides to the tractatus. See for instance https://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/tractatus/summary/
