Hi Mark, Honestly, the 90 minute review made him seem like a nutcase. He's called a genius so I am trying to stay open. Yes, he did change his philosophy. Paul Strathern seem to think Wittgenstein was the only philosopher EVER to admit his philosophy (the first) was wrong. That's worth pondering. Strathern also said Wittgenstein's theory was to be "The Final Solution" for philosophy, the end of it, over, kaput...
Geez, Wagner was suppose to be an egotistical bastard, but a least he left us with some of the greatest musical drama. I am curious to see what Wittgenstein presented to humanity. Did you know he had three brothers who committed suicide??? - But maybe I will lose interest after a few chapters. Or maybe some of his ideas will be appealing and other not so much. I am curious.
