New Ludwig Wittgenstein essay on NDS Western Philosophers page

[Guest guest]

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

 

I'm pleased to announce an excellent Ludwig Wittgenstein essay on the

Nonduality Salon's Western Philosophers section. Written by Prof. Doug

Winblad at Vassar College, a Wittgenstein scholar and dear friend of mine,

the essay highlights how the study of this influential and often difficult

philosopher can be used to deconstruct parts of belief systems that are

"bewitched by language" (Wittgenstein's phrase).

 

As mentioned in the intro, there have been parallels drawn between

Wittgenstein and Nagarjuna, the 2nd Cent. CE author of the Treatise on the

Middle Way (MUlamAdhyamaka KArikA).

I must say that Jerry has tried his very best to publicize this section and

make it sexy. I tried too, in the writing phase. Sorry if it's not!
