Ludwig Wittgenstein: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an Austrian-British philosopher known for his work on language, logic, and the philosophy of mind. His ideas in the "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" shaped logical positivism, while his later work delved into everyday language and the nature of meaning in "Philosophical Investigations."

Rüdiger Bubner on Wittgenstein - Dictionary of Arguments
Bubner I 205 Wittgenstein/Bubner: his late work is attributable to meditative thinking. --- I 208 Clarification arises from the thinking reader's own performance. The space, however, is not the consciousness of the reader, but the usage of language. --- I 206 Wittgenstein/Diaries: "The solution of all my questions must be very simple" ... "If one is afraid of the truth, (as I am now) one never suspects the full truth" ... "My thoughts soon slacked when I tried to force them against their natural order." "My remarks bear no stamp ... and I will not claim them further as my property." --- I 212 Pain/Wittgenstein/Bubner: not an actual object of investigation, otherwise the psychical would be declared a realm of objects of a separate kind._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
