In response to this: http://www.marxmail.org/msg66028.html It is worth adding that Donald Davidson was a socialist, too, as were Gilbert Ryle and John Austin. Wittgenstein himself declared he was a 'communist at heart', wanted to move to Russia (since he was in agreement with the gains made by workers after the 1917 revolution), and attributed the most important ideas of his later period to Sraffa. Moreover, Rush Rees at one point wanted to join the UK-Trotskyist RCP and many of Wittgenstein's other disciples were also lefties (for example, Gasking). http://anti-dialectics.co.uk/Wittgenstein.htm If anything, it's dialecticians who are the conservatives, since they are quite happy to ape the dogmatic and a priori thought-forms of traditional philosophy. http://anti-dialectics.co.uk/page%2002.htm http://anti-dialectics.co.uk/page%2012_01.htm Rosa! ____________________________________________________________ Easy-to-use, advanced features, flexible phone systems.
