Philosophy hasn't made any progress? - If somebody scratches the spot where he has an itch, do we have to see some progress? Isn't genuine scratching otherwise, or genuine itching itching? And can't this reaction to an irritation continue in the same way for a long time before a cure for the itching is discovered?

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Suppose someone were to say: 'Imagine this butterfly exactly as it is, but ugly instead of beautiful'?!

Philosophy is not a theory but an activity.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.

What is troubling us is the tendency to believe that the mind is like a little man within.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

When we think about the future...

When we think about the future of the world, we always have in mind its being where it would be if it continued to move as we see it moving now. We do not realize that it moves not in a straight line and that its direction changes constantly.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Mathematics is a logical metho...

Mathematics is a logical method. . . . Mathematical propositions express no thoughts. In life it is never a mathematical proposition which we need, but we use mathematical propositions only in order to infer from propositions which do not belong to mathematics to others which equally do not belong to mathematics.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Our civilization is characteri...

Our civilization is characterized by the word 'progress.' Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Sometimes, in doing philosophy...

Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an inarticulate sound.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Not how the world is, but that...

Not how the world is, but that it is, is the mystery.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Hegel seems to me to be always...

Hegel seems to me to be always wanting to say that things which look different are really the same. Whereas my interest is in showing that things which look the same are really different. I was thinking of using as a motto for my book a quotation from King Lear: 'I'll teach you differences'. ... 'You'd be surprised' wouldn't be a bad motto either.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

To imagine a language is to imagine a form of life.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.

Genius is talent exercised with courage.

No one can think a thought for me in the way that no one can don my hat for me.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

In the world everything is as ...

In the world everything is as it is and happens as it does happen. In it, there is no value, - and if there were, it would be of no value.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

A logical picture of facts is a thought.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Man feels the urge to run up against the limits of language. Think for example of the astonishment that anything at all exists. This astonishment cannot be expressed in the form of a question, and there is also no answer whatsoever. Anything we might say is a priori bound to be nonsense. Nevertheless we do run up against the limits of language. Kierkegaard too saw that there is this running up against something, and he referred to it in a fairly similar way (as running up against paradox). This running up against the l

Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
