Wittgenstein

A wacky meme of a man.

...

um what

So should I even read Tractatus if it's been debunked by himself in philosophical investigations?

yes. not only is it a quicker read, but they way that the thought develops in front of you, finalized in the last proposition, is really satisfying.

and he didnt exactly debunk himself but instead reformulated the subject of analysis, focusing on how language operates. you should check out the tractatus and later unfinished works like on certainty to really see how his thought developed.

Alright thanks

Who or what should I read before Wittgenstein? I know Bertrand Russel but who should I read before him?
