Hi Sam. Bravo! This is the part that I like more in your course: "A person who fully absorbed the course would learn to see the world not for its nonsense, but its confusion. For this is what Wittgensteinians are at their core: a doctor of confusion. When one properly wields these skills, one can diagnose it and prescribe something to relieve it, though the remedy can't work without both the patient's election and a certain amount of capacity." I think you make the best choice. I will teach a Wittgenstein's course on the second semester of this year (august, I think) and I will like to know how succesfull your course is. I think you make a correct approach. I hope I can follow your course I will begin with the understanding of "ostensive definition" to go direct to the discussion of following a rule. Let me know something about your difficulties (if you have some) in this course. However, I am in Brazil, but here all the "scholars" are focusing attention only in the Tractatus. Best wishes.
