In 1921, Wittgenstein was fresh off the completion of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Wittgenstein was fresh out out of a POW camp. He wrote the Tractatus living within the horrors of war. Working in a rural school was abandoning his training as an aeronautical engineer. It was abandoning his life as scion of a wealthy urban family that commissioned Klimt for family portraits and a Piano Concerto for the Left Hand for his brother.
