In case.... I'm unable to tell what some people find of great interest in
Wittgenstein, beside his being the schoolmate of Hitler & his building in
Kundmann Gasse.
In any event Wittgenstein understood nothing of logic after his semi
independent discovery of the completeness of TT logics (he may be truly bethe
first one who wrote truth tables in modern ways.) He missed what Frege saw in
QL (quantifier logics) blinded by the stupidity of finitism.
The point has been made in definitive wasy many decades ago by George Kreisel,
another notable Austrian, who was less than impressed by the pyrotechnics of
bullshit of the Ludiwg who was announced as if god went to Cambridge.
Wittgenstein, the person, was far less stupid than Wittgenstein the
philosopher. I truly loved that he went To Wien & extricated his sisters from
the gripe of Eichmann and his henchmen (Wittgenstein is buried as an orthodox
Christian, was baptized by Christian priests, the former empire went under the
Nuremberg laws of 35 after Anschluss. Hence while he denied it, he was jewish
by the standards that were adopted. None of his family was killed by krauts &
Austrian heideggerian pieces of shit that did run the shows in those years.)
