Abstract
In the paper the author supplies an overview of the secondary research of Wittgenstein’s philosophy in Croatia in period 1941–2016. It was commonly assumed that the reception of his philosophy in Croatia started in 1960 when TLP was translated, and accompanied with substantive afterword by G. Petrović. However, the author found an earlier mention and description of Wittgenstein’s philosophy from TLP, which appeared in 1941 in the entry “Bečki krug (Wiener Kreis)” in “Croatian Encyclopedia” and was written by Croatian philosopher Stjepan Pataki. The entry is cited and analyzed. In addition, the author provides the list of translations of Wittgenstein’s work to Croatian, and the list of a majority of secondary literature on Wittgenstein by Croatian philosophers in the same period.
