Talk:Ludwig Wittgenstein/Archive 1

#The Tractatus

The section on the Tractatus needs major editing. We need a presentable way of numbering Wittgenstein's propositions. Also, there are topic-placeholders in quotation marks ("") that need to be filled in. Moreover, when we are quoting Wittgenstein, do we want his remarks in quotation marks, or italicized?

School photo

I'm curious about this sentence:

There is evidence, however, that both appeared simultaneously in a school photograph of all the students.

Is there evidence that this photo exists, or is the photo itself evidence that both appeared simultaneously? — Matt 11:05, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]


I didn't see it anywhere, but is it mentioned that ol' Ludwig was slightly authistic? He walked sideways, you know.. :D Sigg3.net 11:11, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]


How do you spell Tractatus? Could someone change the spelling to consistency to whichever is the proper (Tracatus|Tractatus), whichever it is; I am not an expert, though I suspect it is Tractatus.

You're right - its Tractatus, not Tracatus. -Seth Mahoney 05:01, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

On Certainty

I am not sure this is appropriate but at least it's helpful: there is an online html version of L.W.'s "On Certainty", only the English version though.
