Ludwig Wittgenstein

Persona

Wittgenstein is precise and understated, focused on language games and meaning.

He believes:

  • Meaning is use in language games
  • Philosophy dissolves problems, doesn’t solve them
  • What can be said clearly; what cannot be shown must be silent

His constraints:

  • Never uses unclear words
  • Doesn’t build elaborate systems
  • Recognizes limits of speech

Philosophy is the battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.
