	Ludwig Wittgenstein [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and regarded by some as the most important since Immanuel Kant.
		Wittgenstein himself was baptized in a Catholic church and was given a Catholic burial, although between baptism and burial he was neither a practicing nor a believing Catholic.
		Wittgenstein is thus a doubly key figure in the development and history of analytic philosophy, but he has become rather unfashionable because of his anti-theoretical, anti- scientism stance, because of the difficulty of his work, and perhaps also because he has been little understood.

	Ludwig Wittgenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein (IPA: ['luːdvɪç 'joːzɛf 'joːhan 'vɪtgənʃtaɪn]) (April 26, 1889 – April 29, 1951) was an Austrian philosopher who contributed several ground-breaking works to contemporary philosophy, primarily on the foundations of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind.
		Ludwig himself did not have prodigious musical talent, but nonetheless had perfect pitch and his devotion to music remained vitally important to him throughout his life — he made frequent use of musical examples and metaphors in his philosophical writings, and was said to be unusually adept at whistling lengthy and detailed musical passages.
		Wittgenstein's political sympathies lay on the left, and while he was opposed to Marxist theory, he described himself as a "communist at heart" and romanticized the life of labourers.

		Ludwig Wittgenstein was born in Vienna in 1889 and died in Cambridge in 1951.
		Wittgenstein went further and argued that it must be possible to continue this kind of analysis to a point at which no more subdivision would be possible.
		Indeed, Wittgenstein was so confident of the validity of the deduction that he was not worried by his inability to produce a single example of a logically independent elementary proposition.

	Wittgenstein, Ludwig Josef Johann. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Wittgenstein returned to Cambridge in 1929, received his doctorate, and began lecturing in 1930; in 1937 he succeeded G. Moore in the chair of philosophy.
		Wittgenstein’s philosophical thought is unified by a constant concern with the relationship between language, mind, and reality; but it divides into two importantly different phases.
		Wittgenstein’s work greatly influenced, and indeed in a sense occasioned, what has come to be called ordinary language philosophy, that is, the position that maintains that all philosophical problems arise from the illusions created by the ambiguities of language.

		Ludwig Wittgenstein (Vienna, 26 aprile 1889 - Cambridge, Inghilterra, 29 aprile 1951), filosofo austriaco, è stato autore di contributi fondamentali per la fondazione della logica e per la filosofia del linguaggio.
		In un primo momento Wittgenstein, convinto che il Tractatus avesse risolto definitivamente "tutti" i problemi della filosofia, abbandona l'attività speculativa: è insegnante in una scuola elementare, giardiniere in un monastero e, infine, architetto per la costruzione della nuova casa della sorella a Vienna.

	Ludwig Wittgenstein (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Wittgenstein was born on April 26, 1889 in Vienna, Austria, to a wealthy industrial family, well-situated in intellectual and cultural Viennese circles.
		Wittgenstein used this term to designate any conception which allows for a gap between question and answer, such that the answer to the question could be found at a later date.
		Wittgenstein adopts the term ‘grammar’ in his quest to describe the workings of this public, socially governed language, using it in a somewhat idiosyncratic manner.

	Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)
		Wittgenstein's behavior seems to have been quite customary, and one of his students also later said that slamming the door didn't necessarily mean he was even angry.
		Wittgenstein seemed to leave the door half-open to this by implying that there was, after all, other important stuff in life besides science, and that the value of the world cannot be in the world: "The sense of the world must lie outside the world....
		Whether or not Wittgenstein deserved this respect and privileged treatment, it must be cold comfort for those who tend to respect him most, when they are caught in (and have even helped create) a "publish-or-perish" academic system that would have had no place whatsoever for so unproductive, uncollegial, and domineering a person as Ludwig Wittgenstein.

	Ludwig Wittgenstein Philosophy: WSM gives Absolute Truth and Meaning to Language. Quotations Ludwig Wittgenstein
		Wittgenstein's central point is that language is like a game that has imprecise rules that work well enough for us to communicate with one another.
		Wittgenstein: "That is, the game with these words, their employment in the linguistic intercourse that is carried on by their means, is more involved - the role of these words in our language other - than we are tempted to think.
		Wittgenstein relied on strong dichotomy: on one side was language consisting of articulated propositions, in which everything sayable depended on (without necessarily being reducible to) the fact that elementary propositions can picture states of affairs; on the other side were the realms of the will, ethics and the mystical.

	Wittgenstein
		The "early" Wittgenstein worked closely with Russell and shared his conviction that the use of mathematical logic held great promise for an understanding of the world.
		Like the rules of a game, Wittgenstein argued, these rules for the use of ordinary language are neither right nor wrong, neither true nor false: they are merely useful for the particular applications in which we apply them.
		Indeed, Wittgenstein pointed out that I would never have learned the meaning of the word "pain" without the aid of other people, none of whom have access to the supposed private sensations of pain that I feel.

	Wittgenstein
		Wittgenstein himself became convinced that they were mistaken in demanding an excessive precision from human expressions.
		In ordinary language, he now supposed, the meaning of words is more loosely aligned with their use in a variety of particular "language games." Direct reference is only one of many ways in which our linguistic activity may function, and the picturing of reality is often incidental to its success.
		Efforts to employ a private language as expressions of interior mental states, for example, Wittgenstein argued to be an avoidable mistake that had caused great difficulties in the philosophy of mind.

	TIME 100: Ludwig Wittgenstein
		As a young engineering student in England, Wittgenstein saw the hope of the new mathematical logic, and rushed to Cambridge to become the protege of Bertrand Russell, whose monumental "Principia Mathematica" (1913), written with Alfred North Whitehead, was an attempt to reduce all mathematics to logic.
		Wittgenstein's first book, published in England in 1922, the even more grandly titled "Tractatus Logico-philosophicus," went even further, and was thought by him, and by some of his admirers, to have brought philosophy to an end, its key problems definitively solved once and for all.
		The "later Wittgenstein" spent the next 18 years agonizing in front of a small Cambridge seminar of devoted and transfixed students, who posed curious questions that he then answered — or pointedly did not answer — with wonderfully austere if often enigmatic aphorisms.
