M. Black once said that the whole Tractatus was "a joke", played on
Witters's himself -- with a famous punchline: "Use my propositions as a
ladder,
and throw it after you climbed" (implicature: up the philosophical mountain
of wisdom).
*I wonder where Max Black said this, and where in the *Tractatus*,
Wittgenstein mentions wisdom.
Kind regards.
