Somebody explain what was his philosophy again

somebody explain what was his philosophy again

something about borders of language correlating with borders of our intelligence and such and so forth

u cant say nuffin

Blut und Boden
>moves to Norway to join a farm

>Estimated IQ of 190
>Philosophical and mathematical genius
>As an undergraduate engineer, just decides to get into philosophy and then instantly wins the favor of the top logicians and philosophers in the world
>Isolated himself in the snowy peaks of Norway like a mythical figure where he writes the next great step in philosophy
>Is commended with honors in WWI for bravery while simultaneously finishing the Tractatus
>Decides one day to just become an architect and then creates an innovative house at the drop of a hat
>Purposely gives away his massive fortune to live the life of an extreme ascetic
>After a brief stint as a teacher, where he was seen to be overly strict, because of his high expectations, he eventually goes back to the town to beg forgiveness to each individual student and their family in a Christ-like confession
>creates a massive confession of all his sins and reads them aloud to his closest friends and family
>Returns to the peaks of Norway to create the next great step in philosophy yet again

So he was an extreme narcissist? Got you.

>>After a brief stint as a teacher, where he was seen to be overly strict

He literally beat a child to death.

OK I'll sum it up
"I'm an idiot and I have nothing to say so here's a few books I wrote, you can use them as beer coasters or sell them on Amazon. Also what I just said what a language-game, that's pretty astounding heh ?"

No

He made a fallacious supposition that everything in the world must be made of unique facts. From that principle, he derived a work called Tractatus where he smugly derided logic and philosophy as meaningless exercises.

Later in life, Wittgenstein realised how fucking stupid his ideas actually were but was too embarrassed and ashamed to publish his second book because he knew that it would make him a laughing stock

No, but he still violently and repeatedly slammed his face into a blackboard

so basically nothing

Unfortunately the most accurate description ITT

>Answering to cheap pasta
FUCK OFF NEWFAGS.

-Rothschilds bow to Wittgenstein
-In contact with aliens
-Possess psychic-like abilities
-Control france with an iron but fair fist
-Own castles & banks globally
-Direct descendants of the ancient royal blood line
-Will bankroll the first cities on Mars (Wittgengrad will be be the first city)
-Own 99% of DNA editing research facilities on Earth
-First designer babies will in all likelihood be Wittgestein babies
-Said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed deep in Tibetan monasteries & Area 51
-Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with him
-He owned Nanobot R&D labs around the world
-You likely have Wittgenbots inside you right now
-In regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Wittgenstein bunker in Wilkes land?
-He learned fluent French in under a week

-In reality, he is a timeless being existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know his ultimate plans yet. We hope he's a benevolent being.

his philosophy was a tool among others in his quest for peace of mind.

you dont understand a hammer just by looking at it nor by analyzing its properties or structure. you can only understand it by watching someone using it in a larger context where a certain activity gives it sense. and once that activity is finished the hammer is disposed of.

he was not a philosopher. he was just someone trying to live in a world striving towards death.

Quietism

>He was not a philosopher
>He was someone trying to [main drive to philosophize]
Right...

Wrong.

>contributes nothing of value
interesting

Wittgenstein was a literal cultural Marxist degenerate out of /pol/'s worst nightmares. A scion from one of the most powerful and usurious Jew clans in Europe. The Wittgensteins where second only to the Rothschilds in power and wealth. Wittgenstein spawned postmodernism and cultural relativism, by rejecting objective truth and enlightenment rationality for 'word games'. His homosexual lover, Karl Popper wrote the book ''the Open society and its enemies'' sounds familiar? It's the namesake for Soros' Open Society Foundation. Literally the bible of globalism.

>His teacher Bertrand Russell described Wittgenstein as "the most perfect example I have ever known of genius as traditionally conceived; passionate, profound, intense, and dominating."
>DOMINATING

Wittgenstein was Homo

>In 1912, Wittgenstein wrote to Russell saying that Mozart and Beethoven were the actual sons of God.

hahahah

>In 1912 Wittgenstein joined the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club, an influential discussion group for philosophy dons and students, delivering his first paper there on 29 November that year, a four-minute talk defining philosophy as "all those primitive propositions which are assumed as true without proof by the various sciences.

Ludwig Redditstein

>Wittgenstein apparently started waving a hot poker, demanding that Popper give him an example of a moral rule. Popper offered one—"Not to threaten visiting speakers with pokers"—at which point Russell told Wittgenstein he had misunderstood and Wittgenstein left. Popper maintained that Wittgenstein 'stormed out', but it had become accepted practice for him to leave early (because of his aforementioned ability to dominate discussion).

To be fair, they did call it 'moral science'.

Ethics should never be driven by redditisms like science.

>throw an autismal tantrum because real like is not like numbers
>""""""""""""""""dominate discussion"""""""""""""""

dude WORDS lmao

This. Wittgenstein was a dilettante and his philosophy is high school-tier. He only got as far as he did because of his charisma and wealth.

>wealth

He literally lived as a poor man after his mid twenties.

>In later years, Wittgenstein was highly dismissive of Schopenhauer, describing him as an ultimately "shallow" thinker: "Schopenhauer has quite a crude mind ... where real depth starts, his comes to an end."

Superior thinking aside, Schopenhauer would've snapped him in half for being a M*thematician and abusing children like a retard.

Can't not side with the Heid Heid

>abusing children like a retard
as opposed to abusing the elderly like a retard?

>Schopenhauer has quite a crude mind

Owned
Schopenhauer is massively overrated.

I know this is bait but witty was deeply conservative and detested academia encroaching on religion & aesthetics. "Spawned" no, influenced sure, but that's just testament to his genius. You can't really do philosophy in the 21st century without grappling with witty, witting on unwittingly.

He was still part of a rich family. Nobody wanted to insult or belittle a rich Jew from one of the most influential families in Europe.

Wittgenstein's contribution to Philosophy was massive. One of the greatest who ever lived.

That being said, for all the fanboy circlejerking in this thread, he lived a relatively uneventful life.

Ok, what did he do? He went to a few different Unis and grew up with one of the richest families in Europe, then what? He went to WWI like most other young men, fought, gave up his fortune and published only one book. Spent the rest of his life living in norway and lecturing in cambridge not having any of his stuff published until after his death.

Oh and during this time, he was a schoolteacher, designed a nice building which looks like shit on the outside but is very interesting on the inside and died.

You can call that eventful, I call that rather bland for someone who lived 62 years and had access to one of the largest private fortunes in the world.

its easy:

>see pic related
>realize that you can see two figures
>realize that you cant see both at the same time
>realize that the mind is what makes you see what you see out of the raw experience

>then you realize that you can see a dolphin too
>or a spider
>or any fucking thing you set your mind to see

and then you can wait for death in peace.

>the mind
>implying you are programmed to recognized basal patterns by exposure
>implying that you can "see" anything and aren't just superimposing a mathematical pattern

come on

that sounds more like Heidegger

was he a top or a bottom?

His brother was a one-armed concert pianist

He knocked out a weak child who had a terminal illness but the kid didn't die until a few years later.

so what was his actual philosophy? i'm not reading any books to find out, so just tell me.

>Decides one day to just become an architect and then creates an innovative house at the drop of a hat
Well, almost. He was a mathematics teacher before this, but got fired because he was beating kids that were too dumb. Then his sister asked him to help her architect, after which he more or less forced that poor spineless bastard out and created one of the most innovative (although also flawed) pieces of architecture to date.

what was innovative about it?

Anti-philosophy

The complete stripping away of any ornamentation in the facades. The focus on sequence and proportion of rooms, inner symmetry and using mathematics and music to acquire an almost symphonic quality, his eye for detail and the balance of it all.
It's kind of hard to explain in a few words without going into the things that Adolf Loos was doing at the same time, it's something between Villa Müller and Maison de Verre, which both are immensely complex works as well.

>not going to read
Dumb shit
His books are really shirt.

whereof one cannot murder children one must abuse them

Ludwig "pike the tykes" Wittgenstein.
