Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Ludwig Wittgenstein

My plan this morning was to hit the mat of meditation at 2:30, but it wasn't until 4:00 that I got there, having once again become entranced by the depth, probity, and genius of Wittgenstein as displayed in his Culture and Value (Vermischte Bemerkungen).  His was a great if tormented soul and a powerful intellect.  The latter description holds even if the judgment of my esteemed teacher J. N. Findlay is right: "Wittgenstein took every wrong turn a philosopher can take."
