/lit/ - Literature

We just finished up a second Wittgenstein reading group. We read through On Certainty.

I have read about 12 of Wittgenstein's published books lectures and essays, some of which I have read multiple times. I have read some secondary sources and listened to a few lectures. Unfortunately most of that material is misleading (I think), and that there really isnt a substitute for reading Wittgenstein directly.

Hey /lit/

Tomorrow is the last meeting of our Wittgenstein reading group. We are going to discuss the end bit of Wittgenstein's On Certainty in irc.freenode #4chanWittgenstein tomorrow (Oct 5) at 6pm GMT.

Also, come if you are interested in participating in some future philosophy. It looks like we are going to continue on before On Certainty into some other material. The direction of the group isnt decided yet, and that too is something we will discuss tomorrow.
