He was a faggot.

Because he realized he was wrong and then struggled for the rest of his life trying to understand his mistakes

Hurting children is wrong. If you support Wittgenstein, you support child abuse. If you support child abuse, you're violent and immoral. If you're violent and immoral, you have no business being a philosopher, whose jon is to educate and learn, not support the battery of the weak by mentally unstable homosexuals.

Wittgenstein was wrong then and he's wrong now. But to refuse to discuss this failure would be to ignore his crimes against the young. Please when reading his work, remember that it was composed by a suspected pedophile who was quite evil even though he never said what exactly he was doing in Germany in 1953

Bull shit.

Given that Wittgenstein died in 1951 and was buried in Cambridge, UK.... not sure I'm following you.

he was wrong with the work he set out to do in the tractatus, but made up for it with PI by acknowledging a perfect language can't exist, there is no ultimately valid way to verify or falsify a statement, etc. etc. But if this seems incorrect, please correct me

he's definitely the goat tbqh

>this many people taking the b8

He was intentionally vague and esoteric, making him GOAT only among a certain elite. Russell kicks his ass all over the shop when it comes to the everyman, and, I think, the sheer breadth of his knowledge.

Classic Einstein vs. von Neumann dichotomy, but at the end of the day, who achieved the more impactful discoveries?

>>7874259
Is there supposed to be an obvious answer between Einstein and Neumann there?

>>7874250
I hope you don't mean Bertrand, who basically gave up with following Witty.

>>7874129
Wittgenstein better projected the mystery and mystique of "philosopher" in the public imagination.

But Carnap did more to actually move the ball forward, philosophically.

Analytic philosophy is cuckdom, and Wittengenstein was the worst. His contributions to philosophy bear the mark of fascist ideology and his retarded statement "philosophy adds nothing new" is completely misdirected.

except that Wittgenstein essentially wiped the floor with Russel (which Russel admitted) so I don't really follow this

>>7874287
You must have been really intimidated when you realized analytic philosophy actually requires you to know what you're talking about instead of spouting retarded Nietzsche quotes and pretending to like existentialism "because like what is existence and stuff"

Whoever has such a shortsighted spiritual view of philosophy as to say "philosophy adds nothing new" should immediately be desestimated as superficial.
Analytic philosophy is basically the least spirited boring calculated bullshit that any philosophical branch has ever come up with. It marks the death of the human spirit that began in the 21st century by turning everything into "objective" formulaic systems.

>>7874734
That has nothing to do with the actual doctrine of it. You're not even a sophist, you're lower.

>>7874734
Hey dumbshit - that "boring, objective, unspiritual" pursuit of truth is what created the means you now rely on to spout your infantile nonsense into the internet machine. Time to smarten up, and sack up.

>>7874750
If you're not a nihilist at this point then good on you.Honestly, keep up the good work.

Which one lel

>>7874148
Even though I disagree with you, Wittgenstein said he regretted it anyway

>>7874734
>It marks the death of the human spirit that began in the 21st century by turning everything into "objective" formulaic systems.

But Wittgenstein hated that science was doing this to society mate

some of these rich misguided 1900s kids were such homos, like wittgenstein.
