Isn't it practical to know what is worth to be thought (talked) about? Wittgenstein wanted to give people methods to avoid illussions. > I think he represents duality of thinking, in that his theory dealt in large > part with the logic of language and his philosophy wrapped itself around the > concept of problems and puzzles strictly within the two dimensional word of > papers and books. He dealt with language in "two dimensional word of papers and books" (I understand you despise that world) because he wanted to clean this world of pseudoproblems and let people spend their life doing other things (perhaps more fruitful, like zazen for example) than thinking what is the "true nature" of beauty and truth or what does it really mean "to be". Also Buddha Siakiamuni wanted people to stop philosophical speculations as he understood they lead nowhere. Kind regards, Tomek ------------------------ Yahoo!
