Dear Sean,
I think your approach helps to keep wittrs alive. It is a bit dull every now
and then but you did mention two very good refrences to LW's work. I
especially like the reference to the annotated Tractatus. I must admit I
still do understand little of it but it keeps me busy thinking about what
Wittgenstein was trying to say. That is the fun of it.
Best,
Han
