More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Burning in effigy. Kissing the picture of one's beloved... it aims at nothing at all we just behave this way and then we feel satisfied.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The difficulty in philosophy is to say no more than we know.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is not a philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, like different therapies.
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
Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't ask what it means, but rather how it is used.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
