1:50 - 1:52 This is one of the key points where one can pinpoint the outdatedness of the early Wittgenstein.

Literature: Patrick Grim "The Incomplete Universe".

7:40 'exhibiting ONE of the possibilities of combinations'...

[wrdeboise]

It almost seems that these fundamental propositions described in the world are like fractals. So 'unpacking these propositions reveals a 'symbolic restatement of the original proposition.

[infantileretard]

@wrdeboise Circular logic =/= "unpacking" fundamental propositions, unless of course that is your definition of unpacking something.

the john searle videos on wittgenstein are much better, check the playlists if you haven't watched them yet

[Lopes472]

If Professor Quinton put just a little more effort to his reasoning and thinking on Wittgenstein, he'd sure get cross-eyed.

[theinternetscholar]

about what Anthony Quinton said around 8 min, Wittgenstein sounds like Godel in his incompleteness theorems in mathematics . . . everything comes down to truths and in a sense beliefs? anyone understand what i'm getting at?

[theinternetscholar]
