Introduction
In the following eight posts I offer a critical appraisal of
Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ‘Philosophical Investigations’.
My argument is that we operate with proposals in all facets
of human endeavour – I take the view that these proposals or propositions – are
from a logical point of view –
open to question – open to doubt and uncertain.
I argue that any claim of propositional certainty is
illogical – irrational and pretentious.
In this work I explore this view of the proposition in relation
to Wittgenstein’s remarks in his ‘Philosophical Investigations. Part 1 and Part
II’.
In what follows I will present each of Wittgenstein’s numbered
remarks and follow each with my response.
