Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy, as we use the word, is a fight against the fascination which forms of expression exert upon us.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
With my full philosophical rucksack I can only climb slowly up the mountain of mathematics.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
