*dies a virgin*

>>15889831
He only BTFO'd himself, literally

>>15889934
Elaborate on both of those.

Weininger literally solved the 20th century, of course he was bound to be ignored.

Just got a Cioran book (Anathemas and Admirations) where he writes a brief letter to a buddy/acquaintance about the latter's study of Weininger, and how its occasion brought up youthful memories for him. Basically Cioran had a schoolboy crush and then she went with That Other Asshole, so Cioran started frequenting brothels all the while hating and coping with women's power. Very familiar and pertinent incel/awkward young man stuff.

if you're unable to explain it yourself, you don't understand it

>Wittgenstein added that if one were to add a negation sign before the whole of Sex and Character, one would have expressed an important truth.

what did he mean with this?I never got it

>>15892278
Maybe the opposite of what's in S&C is the truth?

>Wittgenstein doesn’t give us much information to go on, but I propose the following simple explanation for the “negation”:
>Wittgenstein lost three of his brothers to suicide. And Otto Weininger too, whom Wittgenstein perhaps thought of as a kind of brother, killed himself shortly after having written “Sex and Character”. Throughout his life Wittgenstein was to be haunted by thoughts of suicide.
>I suggest, then, that the whole issue of suicide was of huge significance to Wittgenstein, and was an issue to which he was particularly sensitive. He likely perceived a way of thinking in Weininger’s book – an extreme and uncompromising way of thinking – which, it seemed to him, led to an untimely death – and it was especially this which he felt the need to “negate”. Therefore it was not for any tight logical reason that Wittgenstein talked about “negating” Weininger’s book, but rather it was for largely personal and emotional reasons – with his negating serving him perhaps in the manner of a small crucifix which might ward off some kind of demon.
