I've just been philosophised.

Wittgenstein's Tractatus has always been something I've been meaning to try to understand.

So I listened to these guys talk about it last night (because its impossible to just read) and I can't follow everything but what I gleaned, I realised why people like philosophy.

What do I read now?

Read Augustine, whom Wittgenstein greatly admired.

you havent been anything
read the tractatus if you actually desire to understand it as opposed to some half baked secondary roundtable
then read wits philosophical investigations

PEL is great, it really helps me since I study philosophy by myself. But just read the text they discuss and then listen again, it's a very different experience.

Yeah. Their personalities are pretty awful and they aren't philosophers, rather just dabblers in bodies of knowledge that they treat as inert.

Two of them have Masters' in Philosophy, one studied but studied to but didn't complete a Master's in Philosophy, and another has a PhD in particle physics and studied political philosophy.
