thanks, flame. If only some of the technical niggles could be removed...*sigh* but I'm glad that the niggles didnt stop you from posting. The Hegel one in particular really helped things settle down in my mind.

LW used his own sharply analytical mind to find the limits of analysis. The PI is filled with logical paradox that call perception into question as much as abstraction. Artists and composers of astounding originality do much of the same thing. Systems exist but always transcend themselves. The Tractatus holds, but not forever; temporality and change invade everything, pictures included. Picasso' s paintings will fade in coming centuries. Zen.

'In the beginning was the deed'(Goethe *Faust*) could be the motto for Wittgenstein's later philosophy. With respect to the last few minutes I think scholars have only just begun to truly appreciate the brilliance and the implications of Wittgenstein's 'On Certainty'.

Nice one, Flame.
