| | Ludwig Wittgenstein [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | Wittgenstein himself was baptized in a Catholic church and was given a Catholic burial, although between baptism and burial he was neither a practicing nor a believing Catholic. | | | Wittgenstein had a lifelong interest in religion and claimed to see every problem from a religious point of view, but never committed himself to any formal religion. | | | Wittgenstein's views on religion, for instance, are often compared with those of Simone Weil, who was a Platonist of sorts. |

| | Ludwig Wittgenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | However, Monk also notes that he began to doubt at least by 1937 (Monk [1990] 382-384), and that by the end of his life he said he could not believe Christian doctrines. |

| | Wittgenstein's Logical Atomism |
| | For Wittgenstein, analogously, to say that there is substance is to say that there are some things such that all “existence changes” in the metaphorical passage from world to world are reconfigurations of them. | | | Wittgenstein proposal thus mirrors Russell's in embodying the idea that it makes no sense to speak of the existence of simples (cf. | | | Wittgenstein was later to explain this remark to C. |

| | 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). |

| | Wittgenstein's Ladder: Introduction |
| | Wittgenstein's maxim, 'Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent' [T #7], in which the extreme of positivism spills over into the gesture of reverent authoritarian authenticity, and which for that reason exerts a kind of intellectual mass suggestion, is utterly antiphilosophical. | | | Far from being a "gesture of reverent authoritarian authenticity," Wittgenstein's aphorism "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent" is no more than the common-sense recognition that there are metaphysical and ethical aporias that no discussion, explication, rationale, or well-constructed argument can fully rationalize-- even for oneself. | | | Perhaps it is this very contradictoriness, this refusal to stay in one place, that has made Wittgenstein so appealing. |

| | The small but important communities of Pietists who sojourned in Wittgenstein before coming to America are of considerable interest. | | | By the rules set down in the Peace of Westphalia which ended the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), they had the absolute right to choose the religion of their subjects. | | | It is very important to realize that the political identity of the people emigrating during the 1800s was as Prussians. |

| | Presence of Mind - Wittgenstein’s Ghost |
| | Ever since Wittgenstein laid down that poker, colleagues and students who were present, and even those born many years later, have taken up the cudgels in an argument that was left unsettled. | | | The simple truth at the heart of his argument was unacceptable to thinkers convinced that philosophy could address many problems plaguing humanity. | | | What stirs the passions of philosophers may seem trivial to the rest of us, who get by with mere common sense. |

| | 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. |

| | There are two kinds of use of the word "I" when it occurs in answer to the question "Who has toothache?". | | | If the latter is decided by referring to a voice called "A" which is correlated to the body, then if I answer "Which is my body?" by referring to a voice called Wittgenstein, it will make no sense to ask which is my voice. | | | In the mirror world, will deciding which body is mine be like deciding which body is A's? |

| | What we believe to be the first part was written on twenty loose sheets of lined foolscap, undated. | | | I (G.E.M.A.) am under the impression that he had written them in Vienna, where he stayed from the previous Christmas until March; but I cannot now recall the basis of this impression. | | | This book contains the whole of what Wittgenstein wrote on this topic from that time until his death. |

| | 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 wrote continually, and lecture notes, as well as dictated manuscripts, circulated widely, although often against his wishes. | | | Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein, (born Vienna, Apr. 26, 1889, died Apr. 29, 1951), was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century. | | | Although the Tractatus retained considerable influence in logical positivism, it was Wittgenstein himself, in his later philosophy, who eventually produced the most devastating critique of his early work. |

| | 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. |

| | Wittgenstein (1993) |
| | Wittgenstein is contemptuous, arrogant, petty loner who wasn't against berating the children who couldn't decipher his highly intelligent philosophies, and wasn't happy unless he was dispelling all around him and treating his companions and friends like dirt. | | | Still, it could have been much more -- Jarman's self-serving, idiosyncratic storytelling approach means we can only imagine what could have been. | | | from UK Although there is no accounting for the audacious and experimental style in which artist/filmmaker Derek Jarman has put together this offbeat biography of famed philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, one can't help being left disappointed by the slight and unimaginative focus the film gives us of the genius' real life concerns. |
