To really understand Wittgenstein I agree with the statement that one has to
consider Wittgensteins Biography.
With a Zen mind one can see Zen in his Tractatus, think Schopenaeur.
compare "once you have climbed to the top of the ladder you must throw it away"
with the Buddhist koan. enlightment is to relaize that were ordinary. When a
man relaizes this he becomes a sage, when a sage relaizes this he becomes an
ordinary man.
this would seem contemptious in a paradigm that considers it self, esteemed.
But somewhat agrees with Wittgenstein's personal history.
One last note: There is no more famous word games then Zen word games.
