I love when nice things like this happen, you're a good person anon

People who say Wittgenstein thought philosophy was pointless/"language games" have the wrong idea of Wittgenstein. He is just a good philosopher of language and arguably a good transcendental phenomenologist thereby, because he practices an instinctive eidetic reduction simply by being so smart and earnest in his philosophical investigations. In the earliest proto-PI materials he simply brackets metaphysical questions to the "natural sciences," which does not necessarily mean mechanistic or materialistic metaphysics.

It's just that we should not confuse rationalistic linguistic wranglings for good metaphysics. Being is not a being.
