The limits of my language mean the limits of my world. Ludwig Wittgenstein This week we have a tough guest, we are with Wittgenstein, to whom we have to refer when we say “even our dreams are limited by our language” ✨ ???? The son of a very very very rich family, ???? Hitler's schoolmate, ???? War hero, ???? An engineer who designed the first jet engine, ???? A village school teacher, ???? A carpenter, ???? An innovative architect ???? The leading actor of analytic philosophy ???? And one of the most valuable thinkers of the 20th Century Let's start with the last scene of the movie Wittgenstein (1993), we are in Cambridge, Ludwig Wittgenstein is on his deathbed due to cancer and he makes a confession with the taste of last words and says with a bit of humor how much he wishes he had “done a philosophical study”. Whether you find him relatable or not, we can easily agree that he doesn't have much of a sense of humor. And in this scene, a little story comes up, you can also call it a spoiler ???? “Once upon a time, there was a young man who dreamed that he could reduce the entire world to pure logic. This very smart young man realized his dream and stood back and watched in awe this perfect world he had created, with no uncertainty in it. Then he decided to explore, but when he took his first step, he fell flat on his back, because in a perfect world, there were no smooth surfaces. As the young man grew older, he became wiser and realized that the flaws and obstacles he tried to avoid made the world go round. He began to run and dance. As he moved, words spilled out onto the ground, and the wise man understood that this was how the world went round. However, deep down inside him, he still longed for a smooth, shiny, and perfect world, and even though he got used to and accepted the idea of a rough world, his heart remained in the other world. His soul is caught between two worlds, dragged from grief to grief…” Here you go ???? 00:07 Başarken 03:57 Life Story 10:59 Wittgenstein 101 15:57 We are on the Board of Directors #philosophy #curiosity #philosophyontheboard #wittgenstein Additional notes for the curious ????♀️ ????
