Example text
In these contexts, I agree entirely with Conant when he emphasized that the ethical demands of enquiry are no less present, for example, in the Tractatus, when Wittgenstein is discussing logic, than when he is discussing ethics. The ethical is present on every page of the work. What is more, Wittgenstein’s different assessment of Frege and Russell, in their discussion of issues in logic, cannot be understood without bringing in the difference in the way they treated philosophical difficulties. 43 The second thing I want to say is that I do not want to deny that there are internal relations between contemplative philosophy and a way of living, but am extremely wary and dubious of attempts at connecting philosophy and ways of living beyond these internal relations.
I had accused Nielsen of falling to the lure of a philosophy of life. p. 999). Kai Nielsen, Alison Denham and Stephen Mulhall differ, as philosophers, in all sorts of ways, but their remarks exemplify the therapeutic spirit which Wittgenstein thought was a barrier to an understanding of his contemplative task. Rush Rhees captures that spirit as follows: The people who argued with Socrates and Plato may have thought that language was just a collection of techniques, and that that was what understanding is: ‘knowing the technique …’ Is understanding just competence?
