He was, as they say, quite based.

Read Ray Monk's bio on him. Fun stuff.

I wish I was his husband

I was about to recommend the same thing.
He murdered a child btw.

>>17118300
Typical jew.

He invented the modern doorknob.

That film looks so kino, I came across it on YouTube and I've been trying to find a (free) version of it ever since.
Apparently it contains some Homoerotic BS in it though which is pretty fucking gay, it still looks interesting though.

Also wtf are you talking about? I know about the Haidbauer incident but I never heard of him killing any kid, proof?

>>17118270
absolutely hate this motherfucker. anyone here actually ever tried reading him?

>>17118270
the movie was shit
wittgenstein was an autist who didn't earn his PhD
everything he says is borderline retarded and he was a pure autist born in a rich house

>>17118659
Lol, yes the Tractatus. Why?
He's not even bad, why do you hate him?

>>17118676
this post smells pungently of cope

>>17118659
I have tried to read 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' in the past, but had to stop, because he proceeds to explain himself by using propositional calculus symbols (not sure if that's the right term, because I'm an ESL) early on, which I admittedly have no clue of. May try again in the future, though.

Is that what you meant? What was your issue?

>>17118681
i just hate the logico/linguistic philosophy trend he started. I don't find it interesting or compelling but it's impossible to talk about philosophy now without some pseud bringing that shit up.

>>17118706
Legit how else can you speak meaningfully in philosophy without some use of logic and what you mean linguistically, and if you use these tools why don't you use them in a formal way?
We use logic, mathematics, and linguistics to understand the world so why is it bad to see what we can actually say with those tools?
The human mind is a machine (probably not a computer) so it's useful to speak formally about what we can actually say and what we can actually know.
All other philosophy is basically moral bullshit and schizoid ramblings.

>>17118758
>all other philosophy is basically moral bullshit and schizoid ramblings
yes and that is based

> "Hell is not other people. Hell is yourself."
Yeah, based.

>>17118758
>All other philosophy is basically moral bullshit and schizoid ramblings

I wish more people thought like this. Detached and analytical wins the race.

>>17118466
It's on Kanopy if your library has it

No it’s not. It’s tired and making life worse for everyone.

Being gay is gay. Imagine that.

>>17118823
>making life worse for everyone
please keep telling me how based continental philosophy is, adding this to my thesis on the average analytical philosophy fan vs the average continental philosophy enjoyer

>>17118676

Did old witty hurt you? Are you okay? Do you need to take a brake from /lit/?

>>17118844
fuck you for making me look up "pussy milk wittgenstein"

>>17118844
Keked and checked.
lol, I know this is fake but the pure autism of it seems so Wittgenstein-like.

>>17118930
lol

wittgenstein jr by lars iyer is fiyahh!!!!!

Wow, that's pretty fucking gay dude.

>>17119180
Oh? You seem to have forgotten someone...

More like mid-Wittgenstein.

His cousin was that pseudo-jewish czech Friedrich von Hayek. Not a bad look ngl

>>17118300

It’s literally the jewish religion!

>>17118844

>Eats bread constantly.

>Refuses milk.

Yep, that’s a moron.

>>17119678

He was the one that convince me to dye the sides of my moustache.

>>17119717
Whom? von Hayek?

>>17119655
Holy shit what do you think it is?
It literally takes input, processes, has a memory, and gives an output.
Not all minds are the same (for example some are defective like your's retard) and they probably can not be classified as computers but they are still a type of machine.

>>17118466
That film actually looks pretty good.

>>17119697
It's not a real story anon.

>>17118466
if it's gay don't watch it.

>>17118706

why are you all so hung up on the tractatus when his most important contribution came in the philosophical investigation where he btfo philosophy, psychology and all essentialists.

>>17120236
Well first, I only read the Tractatus but from what I read Philosophical Investigations seems like it could apply to most of language but not specifically to what we can say when we wan't to say something meaningful, which is what most of philosophy and science is concerned with.
That is that the Tractatus is concerned with what a scientist might be able to say while Philosophical Investigations is a generalization of what the uses of language are, such as it may be used by people talking in say a convenience store.
To me a holistic picture of language (while interesting) contains many things which are only tangentially related to or even unrelated to the main concern of philosophy as a science, which is epistemology.

>>17120359
>Well first, I only read the Tractatus
Stopped reading here.

>>17120497
Leave this board retard.
Some of us are actually trying to have a discussion.

>>17120236
Tractatus is dope you homo. Of that which you cannot speak, you need to stfu

Lol keep seething you utter faggot. England has the best universities in the world.
Old Witty had enough money to go anywhere he could've possibly wanted to but where did he choose to go?
It wasn't Burgerland, Leafland, or Frogland, it was Jolly Old England!
lol, Anglo-supremacy never gets old, Rule Britannia!

>angloid thirdies on /lit/
oh no no no no

It was Frege who started it you Mong

Cope brainlets,
Not "claiming him", just saying it's obvious he realised the superiority of Anglo culture and wanted to be apart of it (which he most evidently was, apparently you lads don't even know who Bertrand Russell is.). Ave, Brittania!

>>17121841
Lol, even Russell comes before Wittgenstein.
What he said doesn't even make sense because even before Frege there was Bolzano and before him it was fucking Aristotle! (and some less significant figures in between.)

>>17118270
The grandaddy of transgender sophism

what did they mean by this?

>>17122626
Holy shit that's real? That's actually in her Wikipedia page, lol.
There's also a reference to the incident in an interesting article in The New Yorker about Frank Ramsey, called "The Man Who Thought Too Fast":
>Several Bloomsbury figures were there [at a summer party at Keynes’s country place], including Virginia Woolf and Keynes’s new wife, a Russian ballerina, Lydia Lopokova. Unfortunately, Wittgenstein was, too. Lydia made the mistake of remarking, “What a beautiful tree,” presumably too casually, whereupon Wittgenstein glared and demanded, “What do you mean?” and she burst into tears. Wittgenstein also became annoyed with Ramsey, who took issue when Wittgenstein declared Freud “morally deficient.” Although Ramsey didn’t bear grudges, the two men had no contact for four years, except for a distinctly cool exchange of letters in 1927 about the logic of “=.”

Bros, how do I achieve this powerful level of Autism? Is it too late for me?

>>17120845
Why do Luther and Mohamed have halos tho

>>17123012
It's his style I guess.
Obviously though, they should be thought of as "anti-halos" which is why they are black.
Here's another example of this "anti-halo" (In this painting Santa Claus is BTFO the heretic Arius :) )
