if you still care about being logical you have not yet really embraced nihilism. you're going to have to go deeper into the pit of nothing before you can really turn yourself around. You still have gods to destroy.

Can /lit/ recommend me something to read before reading Tractatus Logico Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein? I want to be able to understand the Mathematics related parts.

An 'anti-philosopher' is one who infuses in their philosophy personal experience.

Alain Badiou says we have 3 modern anti-philosophers; Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and possibly Lacan (this was in the introduction of a debate on whether or not Lacan fits this classification).

I know very little about Wittgenstein because I have had a deep aversion to analytic philosophy that I've come to realize is founded on my personal (and largely baseless) reaction against logical thought more than it is on anything valid. Badiou's claim piqued my interest in Wittgenstein for allegedly infusing personal proclivities into his philosophy, which seems at odds with the core notion of analytic philosophy.

In what way is Wittgenstein anti-philosophical? How does he rebel against the established order? In what way is he 'personal'?
