Except that he emphasized the limits of language in the sense of our understanding of the world? He was not at all opposed to literature or poetry. I mean when he was invited to the Vienna Circle, he sharply criticized the Logical Positivists for misinterpreting his work, and instead of lecturing to them, he simply recited poetry.

Wittgenstein is a genius and his ideas are extremely provocative. But it is also extremely easy to not understand him and to go full-/lit and think he proved something he didn't, or claimed something he didn't. You have to dig carefully to find the good threads and the true insight.

He was a good turbo autist but his work was ass. He really needed a good foil to help him develop

Did he ever mention Plato's Sophist in any of his works?

Wittgenstein was good and all, but Heidegger is literally a mystical hierophant who stands unique in all of human history as the personal fulfiller of its revelation of being, and prophet un-historically chosen by God himself as a pure dialogue conjured as it were from Heaven direct.

Both Heidegger and Wittgenstein were great philosophers, and they had many parallels in their works. They both criticized the nonsensical state of metaphysics rooted in Cartesian thought and were attempting to reshape our perspective with how we think and our relationship with language. One could make the argument that Heidegger's dwelling and calling to question what thinking is, that is the summoning of thought, is the same as Wittgenstein's declaration of silence where one cannot speak.

>Why does /lit hate him so much?
Most of /lit/ loves him what are you talking about? For some reason everyone feels extreme closeness of heart to heart when they hear "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

/lit/ doesn't hate Witty. /lit/ hates Russell and Ayer and people like that not because they were wrong, but because the done thing for an anglo poster who is trying to branch out and show that they're smart is to reject established anglo culture. This is the reason why Foucault and all the other dopes are popular here.
