Did Wittgenstein write anything about how a human being should

If so, which writings?

I don't really think he is an ethical/moral philosopher.

It comes up slightly in his later works but I'd recommend reading a biography of his instead.

One of the interest aspects in this area was that he often advised his most gifted students to abandon philosophy and take up more practical subjects. At one point him and a friend decided to abandon philosophy themselves to apply to Trinity College Dublin as Medical students in the aim of becoming a psychiatrist though the mission was abandoned. A periodic behaviour of his that went on throughout his life in different sudden ventures

Well he did suggest that his work is ethical, and that ethics is what really matters, but that he cannot speak of it explicitly so what's left is logik and stuff. Mysticism is a completely different method / mode of life. Whether this was genuine or not it does seem a bit esoteric, a bit pretentious.

But obviously he did struggle with these questions a lot. Making bravely bizarre decisions (money, war, employment), abandoning philosophy several times etc.

But yeah read a biography.

culture and value

read Newton Garver's book, "This Complicated Form of Life"

>>9196312
also check out Peter Winch's later work on ethics, or just read Colin Lyas' bio of Winch (called just Peter Winch) and skim to the ethical sections

Winch big Wittgensteinian, same milieu as Garver

Not really, but he provided a living example. Now go slap the shit out some idiot village kids, son.
