It is valid.
Look at the half-blood jewish people; they arent pure blood jews, and they dont have the same amount (%) of talented people as the 'pure' jewish Diaspora, yet they are still a bunch of examples in History of extremely talented mischlings that eclipse the most renowned jews - just Look at Ludwig

Wait till you hear about the Vienna Circle and how Ethics and Aesthetics are actually meaningless statements because Ben Shapiro destroyed them with facts and Logic.
"Metaphysicians are musicians who can't play instruments" hehe. Wait don't you dare recite Homeric poems in verse or recite to me the Republic's theme of musical man or tell me Nietzche was a composer! Uh I uh...

Anyways would you like to fast in my minimalist air hanger reconstructed to be my home? Tea is meaningless. You can't program BASIC into a cup of tea why bother?

>Oh you enjoy metaphysics? let me show you why you are wasting your time...

Death is not an event in life: We do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. Our life has no end in just the same way in which our visual field has no limit."

Was he right?

Does anyone know a good book to explain Wittgensteins concept of the Mystical? Specifically I want to know how much it remained and changed in his later work after the Tractatus.

Did Lyotard misunderstand him?

They are wrong

What do you think of Wittgenstein's private language argument and its implication in epistemology?

'The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.'

I take that to mean language places boundaries on thought. But doesn't a thought precede verbalisation, internal or external? I can think of a square without needing a word for the concept of a square.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

>*Brutally filters you*

Npk.

reading philosophical investigations rn...why did nobody tell me he's retarded

This king of brainlets, who thought that philosophy was all just misunderstandings in the use of terms and language games.

Who mocked Cantors set theory as "absurd"

Who used autistic little tables to develop "truth values" in logic

Is considered the "father" of analytical philosophy.

Press S

Does anyone have an epub of Philosophical Investigations? I had a look already but I can only find pdfs which convert quite terribly to kindle formats

Cheers

is anything more blackpilling than the fact that so many women have this bizarre primal desire to be raped

is it even worth doing philosophy after him?

>dude just stop thinking too hard lmao
What a stupid fucking hack. Why does /lit/ like him?

What made Wittgenstein so special?
For clarification, the premise of the question is that he was special relative even to other philosophers and asking why.
If you listen to the way Bertrand Russell talked about him, he said he saw Wittgenstein’s face in the crowd at one of his lectures and knew he was the only person in the room who understood what he was saying

What writers, artists, or philosophers became semi-ascetic to create their art/work like Wittgenstein did?

Are you telling me there's absolutely no audio or video recording of this guy? He died in 1951, ffs

Shut up.

Why do you attempt to answer the unknowable questions with language when language itself is limited. As with all disciplines, it's a tool used to describe and explain the external world clearly and objectively. So questions like "what is love" or "is there an after life" are pointless questions because they all end up in a philosophical loop.
