   Extractions: Religious Thought Ludwig Wittgenstein Looking at the implications of Wittgenstein and his philosophy of mind, language and culture. I am seriously behind in updating this site. I have received email from many visitors and some new material to include. Sorry about the long delay. I hope to have a revision completed by the first of February and possibly move this site to its own server (www.wittgenstein.org or something..)Thank you all for your patience. Wittgenstein Introduction The first time I remember having a "revelatory Insight" reading Wittgenstein was late one night while working behind the counter at an all-night gas station. I read the remark "why can't I describe the aroma of coffee". I fully understood then what LW meant by his writings as a "kind of therapy", and further the metaphysical focus of his intellectual and moral quest. I had always been struck by his method of writing little numbered comments as a kind of Zen koan. My previous backgrounds as a psychedelic pioneer and later theological student and minister, and then (1982) current state as fledgling college Marxist, constituted a ready mind for the kind of thinking that was necessary to stop thinking and look . I am certainly not a scholar of LW. I cannot read German, have no advanced degrees, and have studiously avoided mathematics. I can claim, however to have consumed all of his major writings in English, some repeatedly, and I believe I see "what he was pointing at," even if rather brutishly.

   http://www.island-of-freedom.com/WITTGEN.HTM
   
   Extractions: Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century. He was by birth an Austrian of Jewish descent. He received most of his early education at home before studying engineering at Berlin and Manchester, which led to an interest in pure mathematics and the philosophy of mathematics, and in 1912 he moved to Cambridge to become a pupil of Bertrand Russell. His work from 1914-18 led to the writing of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus , which was published in Germany in 1921 and in London in 1922. Wittgenstein served in the Austrian army in World War I and was captured in Italy, and on his release after the war he gave away a considerable fortune he had inherited. From 1920-26 he went to work as an elementary schoolmaster in Austria, then returned to Cambridge in 1929. During the next few years he came to a new position in philosophy, which was first stated in the Blue and Brown Books , a set of lecture notes from 1933-35 and published posthumously in 1958, and later in his Philosophical Investigations (published 1953). He became Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge in 1939, succeeding G. E. Moore. In 1947 he resigned to devote himself to research, but his health soon deteriorated and he died of cancer in 1951.

   Extractions: Ludwig Wittgenstein 's parents were both very musical and Ludwig was brought up in a home which was always filled with music. Ludwig's parents had eight children who were all highly gifted both artistically and intellectually. The family were wealthy industrialists having made a fortune in the steel industry and they were able to provide the best possible education for their children. Ludwig was the youngest of the children and was educated at home until he was fourteen years of age. In 1903 Wittgenstein began three years of schooling in Austria at a school which specialised in mathematics and natural science. This emphasis led Wittgenstein to decide to study engineering and, in 1906, he went to Berlin where began studies in mechanical engineering. Intending to study for his doctorate in engineering, Wittgenstein went to England in 1908 and registered as a research student in an engineering laboratory of the University of Manchester. His first project involved the study of the behaviour of kites in the upper atmosphere of the earth. He moved from this to further study of aeronautical research, this time examining the design of a propeller with a small jet engine on the end of each blade. At this stage Wittgenstein was much more practically minded than one might suppose, given his later highly theoretical work, and he not only studied the theoretical design of the propeller but he actually built and tested it.

   Extractions: Born into a hugely wealthy Austrian family, Ludwig Wittgenstein set off at an early age to revolutionize modern philosophy by examining its most core component: our language. His life is considered in three distinct periods, each of which correspond to his philosophical standing at the time. His early work, part of what is called his Tractarian period, is summed up in his book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921). This was an attempt to reconcile the positions of Frege's apriorism and Russell's atomism in one work. An accomplished logician, Wittgenstein sought to find the true logic behind our misunderstood language, hence his development of Ordinary Language Philosophy. Utilizing such tools as the piicture theory of meaning, he ended up concluding with the thought that Tractatus was just a tool to aid in achieving an understanding of the idea that only statements of natural sciences are meaningful. He concluded that "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." His next period was one of inactivity. He met with the influential Vienna Circle during the early 30s, and he was soon convinced of a flaw in

    Extractions: Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein, born in Vienna, attended the same school as Adolf Hitler, at the same time. Ludwig attended the Realschule in Linz from 1903-1906, and Hitler matriculated from 1904-1905. Later he studied mechanical engineering in Berlin and did aeronautical research in Manchester, England. In 1911 he studied mathematical logic with Bertrand Russell at Cambridge. When World War One started, Wittgenstein joined the Austrian army and was posted on the russian front, and then, in northern Italy. He was in a prisoner-of-war camp until 1919. After getting out of prison, Wittgenstein gave away his substantial inheritance and went to teach in rural Austria. By 1929, he returned to Cambridge where he remained until 1947. During World War Two he served in a hospital. As for his influence in the field of philosophy, the following quotes will suffice: [Wittgenstein] was undoubtedly the most charismatic figure of 20th-century philosophy, living and writing with a power and intensity thst frequently overwhelmed his contemporaries and readers. Bjorn's Guide to Philosophy [Wittgenstein] was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century.

    Extractions: Life Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein, born on April 26th 1889 in Vienna, Austria, was a charismatic enigma. He has been something of a cult figure but shunned publicity and even built an isolated hut in Norway to live in complete seclusion. His sexuality was ambiguous but he was probably gay; how actively so is still a matter of controversy. His life seems to have been dominated by an obsession with moral and philosophical perfection, summed up in the subtitle of Ray Monk's excellent biography Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius. His concern with moral perfection led Wittgenstein at one point to insist on confessing to several people various sins, including that of allowing others to underestimate the extent of his 'Jewishness'. His father Karl Wittgenstein's parents were born Jewish but converted to Protestantism and his mother Leopoldine (nee Kalmus) was Catholic, but her father was of Jewish descent. Wittgenstein himself was baptized in a Catholic church and was given a Catholic burial, although between baptism and burial he was neither a practicing nor a believing Catholic. The Wittgenstein family was large and wealthy. Karl Wittgenstein was one of the most successful businessmen in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, leading the iron and steel industry there. The Wittgensteins' home attracted people of culture, especially musicians, including the composer Johannes Brahms, who was a friend of the family. Music remained important to Wittgenstein throughout his life. So did darker matters. Ludwig was the youngest of eight children, and of his four brothers, three committed suicide.

    Extractions: He began by trying to reduce all mathematics to logic and ended by finding most metaphysics to be nonsense BY DANIEL DENNETT If you would like to watch philosophers squirmand who wouldn't?pose this tough question: Suppose you may either a) solve a major philosophical problem so conclusively that there is nothing left to say (thanks to you, part of the field closes down forever, and you get a footnote in history); or b) write a book of such tantalizing perplexity and controversy that it stays on the required-reading list for centuries to come. Which would you choose? Many philosophers will reluctantly admit that they would go for option b). If they had to choose, they would rather be read than right. The Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein tried brilliantly to go for a) and ended up with b). The revolution in mathematical logic early in the 20th century opened up a delicious prospect: a rigorous science of meanings. Just as the atomic theory in physics had begun to break matter down into its constituent parts and show how they fit together to produce all the effects in nature, logic held out the promise of accounting for all meaningful texts and utterancesfrom philosophy and geometrical proofs to history and legislationby breaking them into their logical atoms and showing how those parts fit together (in an ideal language) to compose all the meanings there could be. As a young engineering student in England, Wittgenstein saw the hope of the new mathematical logic, and rushed to Cambridge to become the protege of Bertrand Russell, whose monumental "Principia Mathematica" (1913), written with Alfred North Whitehead, was an attempt to reduce all mathematics to logic. Wittgenstein's first book, published in England in 1922, the even more grandly titled "Tractatus Logico-philosophicus," went even further, and was thought by him, and by some of his admirers, to have brought philosophy to an end, its key problems definitively solved once and for all. Some "philosophical" propositions could be readily expressed and evaluated within his system, and those that couldn'tamong them, metaphysical riddles that had bedeviled philosophers for centurieswere nonsense.
