Philosophical problems are false problems: they are due to linguistic misunderstandings
The structure of language reflects the structure of the world
The world is made of complex facts that can be broken down into simpler facts
Language is made of complex propositions that can be broken down into simpler propositions
Language is like a map of the world: the connections between the elements of language reflects the connections between the elements of the world
The structure of language reflects the structure of the world
The totality of true propositions (the totality of science) provide a representation of the world that is adequate and complete
Understanding a proposition is knowing "what is the case if it is true" (to which reality it corresponds)
The meaning of the world cannot be understood from inside the world
Ethics is impossible because we are inside the world that ethics struggles to understand
Metaphysics is a fictitious discipline due to a wrong use of language: it is neither true nor false, it cannot be justified (just like religion and magic)
Mathematical entities are pure constructions of the mind: the mathematician is an inventor
Mathematics cannot be grounded in the world: it is a game played by mathematicians
Language has a function
Words are tools
Assertions, commands, questions, etc
Language is a game between people
The meaning of a proposition can only be understood in its context
Truth is a multi-faceted concept: different statements can be all true without being true in the same way ("alethic pluralism")
The meaning of a word is due to the consensus of a society
To understand a word is to understand a language
To understand a language is to master the linguistic skills
Definitions are ambigous or implausible
Categories are based on "family resemblance", not on features
There is no ghost in the machine, no mind that understands, just "understanding"

Too bad he was born like 70 years too early.

Is this what wittgenstein actually believes?
>>
>>9982733
He adopted a completely opposite stance (well, technically it's a stance that contains this one) later in his life. Check his Philosophical Investigations. It has no reading requirement and it is fairly short. Also it's tremendously entertaining.

What's the relevance of emojis?
>>
lol what an autist
>>
>>9983401
Emojis strip away all of the false complexities that words often carry and instead communicate a meaning that can only be interpreted in a more visceral, human way.
Basically, it's easy to hide emotions and motives behinds words but emoji's cannot lie.

In the days of Wittgenstein they also had body langauge duration normal converstations.
Emoji's are a derivative form of body langauge.
If his philosophy had taken body language into account, than also emoji's. If it didn't take body language into account, the addition of emoji's would also not matter.

You can't put nuanced body language in writing, especially in philosophy books. Wittgenstein isn't talking about face to face conversation here. Work on your reading comprehension.
>>
>>9983603
If it doesn't apply for body langauge than it also doesn't apply for emoji's, like I said before.

This does sound like the mind of a schizophrenic but I do really like it anyway.

Most philosophical bickering is completely meaningless. Basically just a big cult personality and useful idiots. Applies for Kant, Hegel, Marx, list goes on.
