Logic pervades the world; the limits of the world are also the limits of logic.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

One age misunderstands anothe...

One age misunderstands another; and a petty age misunderstands all the others in its own ugly way.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The sense of the world must l...

The sense of the world must lie outside the world... What we cannot speak about we must remain silent about... What can be described can happen too, and what is excluded by the laws of causality cannot be described.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

A propositional sign, applied...

A propositional sign, applied and thought out, is a thought. A thought is a proposition with a sense.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

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

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

I am still at Trattenbach, su...

I am still at Trattenbach, surrounded, as ever, by odiousness and baseness. I know that human beings on the average are not worth much anywhere, but here they are much more good-for-nothing and irresponsible than elsewhere.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

I am not interested in constr...

I am not interested in constructing a building, so much as in having a perspicuous view of the foundations of possible buildings.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The philosopher strives to fi...

The philosopher strives to find the liberating word, that is, the word that finally permits us to grasp what up to now has intangibly weighed down upon our consciousness.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

If there were a verb meaning ...

If there were a verb meaning "to believe falsely," it would not have any significant first person, present indicative.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Frazer is much more savage than most of his savages, for they are not as far removed from the understanding of spiritual matter as a twentieth-century Englishman. His explanations of primitive practices are much cruder than the meaning of these practices themselves.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Your questions refer to words...

Your questions refer to words; so I have to talk about words. You say:;: The point isn't the word, but its meaning, and you think of the meaning as a thing of the same kind as the word, though also different from the word. Here the word, there the meaning.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

"Everything is already there ...

"Everything is already there in...." How does it come about that [an] arrow points? Doesn't it seem to carry in it something besides itself? - "No, not the dead line on paper; only the psychical thing, the meaning, can do that." - That is both true and false. The arrow points only in the application that a living being makes of it.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Suppose we think while we tal...

Suppose we think while we talk or write--I mean, as we normally do--we shall not in general say that we think quicker than we talk, but the thought seems not to be separate from the expression.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Architecture immortalizes and glorifies something. Hence there can be no architecture where there is nothing to glorify.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

I'm doing philosophy like an old woman, first I'm looking for my pencil, then I'm looking for my glasses, then I'm looking for my pencil again.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

What is left over if I subtract the fact that my arms goes up from the fact that I raise my arm?

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

My propositions serve as eluc...

My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them--as steps--to climb up beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.) He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the whole world aright.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Schiller writes in a letter [...

Schiller writes in a letter [to Goethe, 17 December 1795] of a 'poetic mood'. I think I know what he means, I think I am familiar with it myself. It is the mood of receptivity to nature and one in which one's thoughts seem as vivid as nature itself.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Dark' and 'blackish' are not ...

Dark' and 'blackish' are not the same concept.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

If a false thought is so much...

If a false thought is so much as expressed boldly and clearly, a great deal has already been gained.
