More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Human beings have a physical need to tell themselves when at work: Let's have done with it now, and it's having constantly to go on thinking in the face of this need when philosophizing that makes this work so strenuous.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises the thought so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly. Ludwig Wittgenstein
