    Extractions: Austrian-born British philosopher noted for his analyses of language and meaning. Among his writings are Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) and Philosophical Investigations (1953). Wittgenstein, Ludwig Josef Johan Wittgenstein, Ludwig Josef Johan, 1889-1951, Austrian philosopher. He studied (1912-13) at Cambridge Univ. under Bertrand RUSSELL . In Vienna in the 1920s he came in contact with adherents of LOGICAL POSITIVISM; they were profoundly influenced by his first major work, the Tractatus Logico-philosophicus (1921), which posits a close, formal relationship between language, thought, and the world. Language and thought work literally like a picture of the real world, and to understand any sentence one must grasp the reference of its constituents, both to each other and to the real . Language, however, can indicate an area beyond itself; unsayable things (e.g., things not demonstrable) do exist, and sentences whose structure of meaning amounts to nonsense can result in philosophical insight. Thus Wittgenstein, unlike the logical positivists, allowed for the possibility of a

22. 20th WCP: Tractarian Dualism
    Article by Robert E. Tully, presented at the 20th World Congress of Philosophy.  
    http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Meta/MetaTull.htm
    
    Extractions: tully@chass.utoronto.ca ABSTRACT: Tractatus Tractatus Tractatus and does so in the only form in which he thought it could be defended. Along the way, I try to show that his treatment of thought, sense, and understanding is both a continuation and correction of treatments which Frege and Russell had previously given to these concepts. The world Wittgenstein describes in the Tractatus Alternatively, such dualistic expressions might be treated as examples of the "nonsense" propositions characterized at the end of the Tractatus as part of the ladder which one must ascend in order to see the world aright, the world which does not number propositions, senses or selves among its objects. I do not claim that defending some form of dualism was Wittgenstein's main purpose in the Tractatus or even a primary one. Given the particular form it takes there, in fact, dualism cannot perhaps even be directly argued for at all, which may help explain why this aspect of the work has been neglected. The example of picturing merges easily with remarks about propositions. "A propositional sign is a fact." [3.14] Words are its elements, serving as names for objects. A proposition projects a possible situation. It contains the form of its sense, he says, rather than its content: it contains "the possibility of expressing" its sense. [3.13]

    Extractions: Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and regarded by some as the most important since Immanuel Kant . His early work was influenced by that of Arthur Schopenhauer and, especially, by his teacher Bertrand Russell and by Gottlob Frege , who became something of a friend. This work culminated in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus , the only philosophy book that Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. It claimed to solve all the major problems of philosophy and was held in especially high esteem by the anti-metaphysical logical positivists . The Tractatus Philosophical Investigations , shares this concern with logic and language , but takes a different, less technical, approach to philosophical problems. This book helped to inspire so-called ordinary language philosophy Life Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Ethics and Religion Conception of Philosophy ...

    Extractions: Ludwig Wittgenstein had two phases. In his early years, he wrote the Tractatus which tried to show the strict logical structure of language and its relationship to the world. The Tractatus had a huge influence on Russell's logical atomism and on Ayer's logical positivism. The later Wittgenstein wrote the Philosophical Investigations which attacked the Tractatus and emphasized the fluid nature of language. The Investigations had a huge influence on ordinary language philosophy. The Tractatus Wittgenstein's early work, the Tractatus, tried to show that language and reality had a similar structure. By analyzing statements down to their simplest components, we can in principle arrive at simple statements about simple objects. A simple statement pictures (or models) a possible situation a state of affairs about simple objects. Such a statement is true if the corresponding state of affairs exists. A complex statement claims that some combination of simple statements is true. Complex statements are compounded out of simple ones by using the logical operators "and," "or," and "not." Statements that don't fit this structure are nonsensical and go beyond what can be said. Wittgenstein claimed that most philosophical views (including his own) are nonsensical. In particular, ethics and religion the really important things in life go beyond what can be put into words.

    Brief introduction to his work.  
    http://www.iuj.ac.jp/media/stokes/WITTGENS.HTM
    
    Extractions: Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein, (born Vienna, Apr. 26, 1889, died Apr. 29, 1951), was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century. Born into a wealthy and cultured Austrian family, Wittgenstein received most of his early education at home before studying engineering. Having become interested in the foundations of mathematics, Wittgenstein began (1912) to study with Bertrand Russell at Cambridge. His early work led to the writing of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921). Having given away a large inheritance, Wittgenstein taught elementary school from 1920 to 1926 in rural Austria and subsequently served as gardener in a monastery near Vienna. In 1929, Wittgenstein returned to Cambridge, and in 1939 he was appointed to the chair in philosophy formerly held by G. E. Moore. Wittgenstein wrote continually, and lecture notes, as well as dictated manuscripts, circulated widely, although often against his wishes. The most important of these dictations have been published as The Blue and Brown Books: Preliminary Studies for the "Philosophical Investigations"

    Extractions: Administration About President's Office Divisions ... Links Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein Ludwig Wittgenstein was born in Vienna on April 26, 1889, the youngest of eight children. He went to school in Linz and Berlin, then went to England to study engineering at the University of Manchester. Here he worked on both theoretical and practical exercises, building a propeller, for instance, and testing it, as well as understanding its design theoretically. He developed an interest in pure mathematics, an interest that directed him to Trinity College, University of Cambridge, to study with Bertrand Russell. At Cambridge he switched his focus to philosophy. In 1912 Wittgenstein presented his first paper, What is Philosophy? , to the Cambridge Philosophical Society. In this paper is early evidence that Wittgenstein appreciated the importance of searching out appropriate methods for approaching philosophical problems. While at Cambridge, Wittgenstein continued to work on the foundations of mathematics and mathematical logic. He found the philosophical discussions at the school shallow, however, and sought a new place to work. He chose Skjolden, Norway, and lived there in isolation. The work on logic and language that he would produce here during this fruitful period would lead to his important book the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Tractacus is a series of reminders of the limits of human language. It became the basis for the principles of the logical positivists and their anti-metaphysical philosophical stance. Wittgenstein saw the work as holding the final solution to his questions about philosophy. Satisfied, he turned from philosophy and taught elementary school in an Austrian village for a few years.

    Extractions: He was educated at home until the age of 14, then at the Realschule in Linz, where Adolf Hitler was a fellow-pupil. It has been argued (by Kimberly Cornish, in The Jew of Linz ) that Wittgenstein is the hated Jewish boy mentioned by Hitler in Mein Kampf . Wittgenstein went on to study aeronautical engineering at Manchester, the complexities of which led him to question the basis of mathematics and seek an explanation from one of its wise men- Bertrand Russell of Cambridge. At first Wittgenstein believed that the Tractatus , by viewing all problems as problems of language, had solved all the problems of philosophy, and subsequently gave up academe to work as a schoolteacher and a monastery gardener. Eventually, he criticized his own views and found a new philosophical method and a new understanding of language in the posthumously-published

In April 2006 David Hamblin wrote to PT: Mike Harding tells me that another biography, "Wittgenstein, the Duty of Genius" by Ray Monk, gives a time of 18.00, and he says that Monk had a letter from Wittgenstein himself quoting this time." PT advises using either of these entries with some caution. Vienna went from LMT to CET in April 1893, a few years after he was born. It is entirely possible that he wrote the time in retrospect and we cannot know whether he had himself converted the time from LMT to CET when he gave out the information in the cited letter.
