People are deeply imbedded in...

People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Where does our investigation ...

Where does our investigation get its importance from, since it seems only to destroy everything interesting, that is, all that is great and important? (As it were all the buildings, leaving behind only bits of stone and rubble.) What we are destroying is nothing but houses of cards and we are clearing up the ground of language on which they stand.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The so-called law of inductio...

The so-called law of induction cannot possibly be a law of logic, since it is obviously a proposition with a sense.--Nor, therefore, can it be an a priori law.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

We just do not see how very s...

We just do not see how very specialized the use of "I know" is.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Philosophical problems can be...

Philosophical problems can be compared to locks on safes, which can be opened by dialing a certain word or number, so that no force can open the door until just this word has been hit upon, and once it is hit upon any child can open it.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

If you want to go down deep y...

If you want to go down deep you do not need to travel far; indeed, you don't have to leave your most immediate and familiar surroundings.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The truth of the thoughts tha...

The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

What signs fail to express, t...

What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

You might say that certain wo...

You might say that certain words are only pegs to hang intonations on.

Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Nothing is more important for teaching us to understand the concepts we have than to construct fictitious ones.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

It would strike me as ridiculous to want to doubt the existence of Napoleon; but if someone doubted the existence of the earth 150years ago, perhaps I should be more willing to listen, for now he is doubting our whole system of evidence.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Death is not an event in life...

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The philosophical I is not th...

The philosophical I is not the human being, not the human body or the human soul with the psychological properties, but the metaphysical subject, the boundary (not a part) of the world.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Imagine someone pointing to a place in the iris of a Rembrandt eye and saying, 'The walls of my room should be painted this color.

Ethics and aesthetics are one.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Every sign by itself seems dead. What gives it life?--In use it is alive. Is life breathed into it there?--Or is the use its life?

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The subject does not belong to the world; rather, it is a limit of the world.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

If a person tells me he has b...

If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him; but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.
