| | Ludwig Wittgenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although Monk notes that Wittgenstein began to doubt by at least 1937 (Monk [1990] 382-384), and that by the end of his life he said he could not believe Christian doctrines (although religious belief remained an important preoccupation), this is not contrary to the influence that Tolstoy had on his philosophy. | | | Wittgenstein was frequently frustrated by these meetings — he believed that Schlick and his colleagues had fundamentally misunderstood the Tractatus, and at times would refuse to talk about it at all. | | | Suicidal, Wittgenstein went to stay with his uncle Paul, and completed the Tractatus, which was dedicated to Pinsent. |

| | Ludwig Wittgenstein |
| | Wittgenstein used this term to designate any conception which allows for a gap between question and answer, such that the answer to the question could be found at a later date. | | | As early as 1933 (The Blue Book) Wittgenstein took pains to challenge these dogmas, arriving at the insight that "if we had to name anything which is the life of the sign, we should have to say that it was its use" (BB 4). | | | Subsequently, he ends the journey with the admonition concerning what can (or cannot), and what should (or should not) be said (7), leaving outside the realm of the sayable propositions of ethics, aesthetics, and metaphysics. |

| | Ludwig Wittgenstein was born in Vienna in 1889 and died in Cambridge in 1951 |
| | Wittgenstein's argument is not concerned with the real possibility of linguistic crankiness but with the logical structure of the situation. | | | Wittgenstein believed that Ethics, Aesthetic and religious discourse lie beyond those limits. | | | That is what Wittgenstein did, and he found an obstacle which seemed to him to make the route impassable. |

| | Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) |
| | Wittgenstein seemed to leave the door half-open to this by implying that there was, after all, other important stuff in life besides science, and that the value of the world cannot be in the world: "The sense of the world must lie outside the world.... | | | Indeed, Wittgenstein actually says, "Feeling the world as a limited whole -- it is this that is mystical" (§6.45). | | | They were, in fact, cousins (Wittgenstein's maternal grandmother was the sister of Hayek's maternal great-grandfather). |

| | A BRIEF HISTORY OF LITERARY THEORY |
| | When Wittgenstein says that there is no metaphysical nature of language, however, he does not mean, as the logical positivists supposed and the post-moderns affirm, that there is no such thing as a metaphysical realm. | | | Because languages are based on forms of life, they must relate to the external world. | | | The second aspect of Wittgenstein's language theory, which is inexorably connected with the first, is that language has a social foundation. |

| | The basis of the new approach is a new view of language; the old view in the Tractatus that there is in principle a perfect language is abandoned and language is seen as a set of social activities, each serving a different kind of purpose. | | | Some have thought that he believed in mystical truths that could not be said but were of the utmost importance. | | | Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century. |

| | During the 1920s Wittgenstein came in contact with the so-called Vienna Circle of logical positivists, who were profoundly influenced by the Tractatus (see logical positivism). | | | Wittgenstein’s philosophical thought is unified by a constant concern with the relationship between language, mind, and reality; but it divides into two importantly different phases. | | | The first phase, expressed in the Tractatus, posits a close, formal relationship between language, thought, and the world; there is a direct logical correspondence between the configurations of simple objects in the world, thoughts in the mind, and words in language. |

| | Wittgenstein hoped to get us to see how most philosophical questions - and the positions which we take up in response to those questions - are based in an unsatisfactory relationship between us and our words, a kind of linguistic confusion in which we want to say things that don't make any sense. | | | The Tractatus gave the appearance of being a magisterial theory of logical form. | | | Wittgenstein thought that it was indeed only through investigation of what it made sense to say when, and of the sources of the compulsion to misunderstand, that philosophers could begin to put an end to conceptual confusions and pacify perturbed reflective minds. |

| | TIME 100: Ludwig Wittgenstein |
| | Wittgenstein's first book, published in England in 1922, the even more grandly titled "Tractatus Logico-philosophicus," went even further, and was thought by him, and by some of his admirers, to have brought philosophy to an end, its key problems definitively solved once and for all. | | | The "later Wittgenstein" spent the next 18 years agonizing in front of a small Cambridge seminar of devoted and transfixed students, who posed curious questions that he then answered — or pointedly did not answer — with wonderfully austere if often enigmatic aphorisms. | | | Both books will be required reading as far into the future as any philosopher could claim to see. |
