Yes I do stand to be corrected in my quote. How do I understand this "Four
years ago I had occasion to re-read my first book (the Tractatus
Logico-Philosophicus) and to explain its ideas to someone. It suddenly seemed
to me that I should publish those old thoughts and the new ones together"; That
he has published another book with both idea's in it, or that he is thinking of
publishing another book with both ideas, or both his old thoughts and his new
thoughts are in Philosophical Investigations? I think you see the ambiguity i'm
talking about.
He goes goes on to write "I make them without doubtful feeling. it is not
impossible that it should fall to the lot of this work, in it's poverty and in
the darkness of this time, to bring light into one brain or another-but, of
course, it likely." What can we make of this? it does resembe the contentous
remark to Russell and Moore when he patted them on the back and said they would
not understand the Tractatus. Also if you put a poets spin on it it also makes
interesting reading.
