Frei nach #Wittgenstein

Worüber man nicht jammern kann, darüber soll man klagen.

Any constructive issues will be considered.

Haven’t been on here for a few months, as I’ve been focusing on finishing up my #PhD.

Yesterday, I had my viva. And, after one of the most enjoyable philosophical discussions I’ve ever had, I passed without corrections!

A billion thanks to my supervisors, examiners, and all my friends and family.

@KaneG Point taken, and I like the quote, but I’m happy to see it, at least for now, as a collective rallying round a decent person who’s amusingly got caught out, rather than a symptom of misfunctioning capitalism. depends how you look at it? family resemblance #wittgenstein #duckrabbit

A nothing will serve just as well as a something about which nothing could be said. (L. Wittgenstein)

@ninaschuyler The short answer is ‘no’, but as usual with #Wittgenstein a long answer is necessary. Ray Monk’s biography will help, or google around. Or a more knowledgeable Wittgenstein person might also reply. Good luck!

Finally, Nat continues:

3:

Also, he argued against historian C.B. Macpherson, that John Locke could not have been basing his writing on capitalism because it had not yet codified into an available language. (But would soon do so.) I studied with Pocock but disagreed with him about Macpherson.

Anyway, you can see how that fits into "Babel 17." BTW, In those days no one would bring up SF in a grad class.

Nat:

2:

His argument for a linguistic empiricism contradicted political theorist Leo Strauss's combination of ahistoricism & conspiracy theory that, sadly, most of the current Supreme Court justices pretend to base their decisions on.

Nat:

1:

In the 1970s & 1980s the historian J.G.A. Pocock introduced a concept he called "available languges," based on such ideas as Wittgenstein's "family resemblance," J.L. Austin's "speech acts, & Thomas Kuhn's "paradigms." The idea was that at any given moment folks could only make political arguments given the concepts/languages available to them.

@RayStraighter Also, the inarticulate grunt is often the closest that one can get to true communication. #Wittgenstein

#Creativity is a complex yet wonderful phenomena. Some analysis of this topic can be found at https://philosophynow.org/issues/153/Plaiting_Gravy
I have referenced many in this article e.g. #Wittgenstein, #Plato, #Orwell, # Bertolucci, #Csikszentmihalyi and others. The short essay can be read free on the web, any comments welcome.

In other news, getting nerds to meet and exchange ideas is one of my favourite things to do. And when that is such a big part of my job - well, I am having a ton of fun at work.

Me, I am a bland generalist. My educational background? Philosophy. A different kind of nerd, I guess. Ludwig Wittgenstein''s work (#wittgenstein) still has a very special place in my heart.

@Joel oh idk, I kinda like writing footnotes. I don’t think four is enough in this sentence, do you? #Wittgenstein #PhilosophyOfMathematics #Nominalism

@Flockysheep Hello and thanks for the welcome.

Mastodon is my nth social media / discussion platform. They've all been different.

Afraid I'm more likely to boost #philosophy content than discuss it much. Though I might mention it in relation to news / current affairs where pertinent.

Interested in all things #Wittgenstein

Where my #philosophy people, @philosophy ? I love talking about #Ockham #Luther #Wittgenstein #Husserl #Descartes #Hume #Metaphysics #Epistemology #Causation #Nominalism #PhilosophyOfMathematics #Logic #LawsofNature #PhilosophyOfScience

Pls boost & help me find my ppl? Thanks! ❤️

Interlibrary loans in the mail today, wooo! I’m gonna be busy this weekend! #Wittgenstein #philosophy #PhilosophyofMathematics

I used one of those AI art thingys to generate a picture of #Wittgenstein. The result seems…on brand? #philosophy
