Wittgenstein claimed to have solved the problem of free will, which could be demonstrated by logic. He said there was no way he had done anything to impede discussion of "free will."
This description perfectly illustrates what Wittgenstein identified as the reason for most philosophical confusion. He was also aware that many of the most difficult philosophical questions are in fact the result of misinterpretation - the use of words. Moreover, the image of language is the basis of all traditional philosophy, and it is too important for him not to simply devote himself to language and philosophy. It is sad that he proposed so little to solve the problem of free will, but this description perfectly illustrates what he found behind most of our philosophical confusion.
For early Wittgenstein, the aim of philosophy was to bring language back from its logical form to its better - illustrated logical - world of forms. In his later work, he abandoned the idea of a "logical form" and instead focused on the use of language as a means of understanding.
After thinking that Tractatus had solved all the problems of philosophy, Wittgenstein left philosophy and returned to Austria to continue his education as a primary school teacher. After thinking that "Tractata" had "solved all philosophical problems," Witt genststein had to leave philosophy and return to Austria to train as an elementary school teacher. After he was of the opinion that the "treatises" had "solved all philosophical problems," he left "philosophy" and returned to Austria to continue his education as a primary school teacher.
When he decided to teach, Wittgenstein was so successful that he was considered the greatest living philosopher and one of the most influential philosophers of his time.
His philosophical training was unconventional, and he never seemed to feel the need to go back and study the history of philosophy in depth. He went into engineering and was strongly influenced by Friedrich Schopenhauer and the new logic system of Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege. Wittgenstein was isolated in his home country of Germany, where he did not want to return to academic life during this time. I went back to work with him - hand in hand and working on his hand.
This work culminated in the publication of Logico - Logic, the only book of philosophy published by Wittgenstein during his lifetime. This volume also contains the writings of Georg Henrik von Wright, who succeeded Wittgenstein as Malcolm's successor, as well as a number of other important works.
Kripke's theory is clear, ingenious, and owes much to Wittgenstein, but it is doubtful in this interpretation of Wittgenstein. Finally, McGuinness's interpretation of the Tractatus, which states that the world consists of facts and not of things, assumes as an ontological claim that Witt Genstein anticipated in his conversation with Russell. Although this argument does not correspond to Wittgenstein's, it was claimed that it was his theory that he rejected philosophical theory and relied heavily on the first set of philosophical investigations of the sect.
This dichotomous description of Wittgenstein's concept of philosophy is misleading, since there is a philosophical confusion that does not emerge from metaphysics.
In Philosophical Investigations, however, Wittgenstein argues that the problem is actually a pseudo-problem - a problem that stems from the philosopher's misuse of language. This definition, he argues, requires a common code, which means an inward-looking basis, "so descartes thinks as I am. Similar to the investigations, he then tries to show how philosophers can be led away from the ordinary world language by deceiving themselves about aspects of language itself. Since his own theses are nonsensical, as he says, it is difficult to find a sense of how he can represent both language and reality, whether this report is linguistic or otherwise, although this has been debunked unchallenged for three centuries.
Juliet describes how Wittgenstein tried to integrate these ideas under the guise of human language, and discusses how he combined the logical systems of Frege and Russell with his own insights to create a new perspective on the way we use language. Discussing the difference between formal logic as a "big L" and everyday logic, John asks Juliet to talk about what many call "the linguistics of the philosophy of the turn of the 20th century."
Starting from an apparent metaphysics, Wittgenstein saw the world more as a matter of fact than as the objects of which it consists, namely 1,2,3.
