I've wanted to get a good understanding of wittgenstein, but I tried ordering logico tractatus philosophicus, and I just did not understand. I think someone else explaining him would probably be more useful.

U can't know nothing
U can't know nothing
U can't even know that u knoe nothing

>all words are inherently meaningless
What does it even mean

How would you communicate that words are inherently meaningless?

>>9032046
What is meaning? Knowledge is inherently limited. Eventually when you break everything far down enough, everything is absurd. That's what it means.

>>9031867
>all words are inherently meaningless
but what if some words are externally meaningful

>and good and bad are social constructs?
but can we hope to step outside social constructs

Stop asking questions.

I remember when I was 12 or so shit like that appeared to be super deep to me.

>>9032086
And what have you learned since then?

Why would you need any philosophy? Seems to me you got it all figured out already.

Yeah, its called post-modernism and it was an entire dumb movement. I'm surprised you've never heard of it.

>>9032166
Hmm, that's actually what inspired me to make this thread. I was actually just waiting to see if anyone else would point that out. I am really interested in the movement actually, I read some quotes by foucault and it sounds like a really interesting philosophy which deals with social theory as well. It sounds right up my alley, considering I'm a progressive and an atheist and a nihilist.

>>9032158
That it's simply dumb posturing that leads nowhere.

>>9032357
wow

>>9032174
With post-modernism words aren't inherently meaningless (it's a strange proposition, likely it cannot be proven) but meanings of words are determined by a network of other words rather than having a direct correspondence between signifier and signified.

The idea is they are not so much meaningless as they are autonomous, observable phenomena.

>>9032075
I agree...

I think you'd dig The Post Card by Derrida.
