More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy can be said to consist of three activities: to see the commonsense answer, to get yourself so deeply into the problem that the common sense answer is unbearable, and to get from that situation back to the commonsense answer.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All philosophy is a 'critique of language' (though not in Mauthner's sense). It was Russell who performed the service of showing that the apparent logical form of a proposition need not be its real one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One can defend common sense against the attacks of philosophers only by solving their puzzles, i.e., by curing them of the temptation to attack common sense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The difficulty in philosophy is to say no more than we know.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is more important for teaching us to understand the concepts we have than to construct fictitious ones.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
That the world is, is the mystical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose someone follows the series 1,3,5,7, .., and in writing the series 2x+1 and he asked himself But am I always doing the same thing, or something different every time? If from one day to the next someone promises: Tomorrow I will give up smoking, does he say the same thing every day, or every day something different?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy unravels the knots in our thinking hence its results must be simple, but its activity is as complicated as the knots that it unravels.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world divides into facts.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
