Vous êtes vexés ... mais depuis le début je ne demande que des explications de fond (comme les autres qui passent un peunde temps ici).
apparemment ma communiquatique n'a pas marché.
Pour vous même, sauriez vous résumer ce qu'est votre projet?
collecter des non-réponses à votre question slogan?
Vous m'avez convaincu que vous n'aviez pas le sens de la physique (ce qui s'appelait géométrie à l'académie) mais que vous vous preniez vous même aux mots que vous utilisez?

Wittgenstein, Ludwig (Josef Johann)
Austrian-born English philosopher, who was one of the most influential figures in British philosophy during the second quarter of the 20th century and who produced two original and influential systems of philosophical thought--his logical theories and later his philosophy of language.
Moore and Wittgenstein
from metaphysics
The Positivists were not the only modern critics of metaphysics. G.E. Moore never argued against metaphysics as such, but nevertheless he produced criticisms of particular metaphysical theses that, if accepted, would make metaphysical speculation difficult, if not impossible. It was characteristic of a certain type of philosopher, according to...
Logical atomism: Russell and the early Wittgenstein from Analytic philosophy
The next important development in Analytic philosophy was initiated when Russell published a series of articles entitled "Philosophy of Logical Atomism" (1918-19), in which he acknowledged a debt to Wittgenstein, who had studied with Russell before the war. Wittgenstein's own work, the Tractatus...
Later history of the movement
from Analytic philosophy
A crucial turn that initiated developments that were destined to have a lasting and profound effect on much of contemporary Analytic philosophy occurred in 1929, when Wittgenstein, after some years in Austria during which he was not philosophically very active, returned to England and established his residence at Cambridge. There, the direction...
Relation between mental and physical events
from Analytic philosophy
In some respects, Wittgenstein made some significant breaks with the Empiricist tradition--in his views about language and the explanation of the rigour of the deductive sciences. His treatment of the relationship between mental events and physical events also represents an important departure. Empiricists generally have started from the...
Later trends in England
from Analytic philosophy
Those philosophers who might fairly be labelled "Wittgensteinians," who follow the methods that Wittgenstein employed in his later period, should be distinguished from those who have been influenced more indirectly by the general trends and philosophical atmosphere that arose in large part from Wittgenstein's work.
Language and following rules
from Analytic philosophy
In logical atomism, as shown above, language was conceived as having a certain necessary and fairly simple underlying structure that it was the job of philosophy to expose. Wittgenstein began to tear away at this assumption. Language, he now thought, is like an instrument that can be used for an indefinite number of purposes. Hence, any...
Linguistic Analysis
from philosophy, history of
Sometimes called "ordinary language" Analysis or even "Oxford philosophy" from its later stronghold, this movement was, in fact, largely the product of two philosophers of the first half of the 20th century who were associated with the University of Cambridge, G.E. Moore (1873-1958) and Ludwig Wittgenstein...
Assessment. from Wittgenstein, Ludwig (Josef Johann)
It is not easy to characterize Wittgenstein's attitude toward his own philosophical creation. He regarded the Philosophical Investigations as imperfect; he tried with fierce energy and concentration to perfect it, yet despaired of success. He was inclined to be pessimistic about the fate of his work. "It is not impossible," he...
Oxford philosophers
from Analytic philosophy
After World War II, Oxford University was the centre of extraordinary philosophical activity; and, although Wittgenstein's general outlook on philosophy--his turning away, for example, from the notion of formal methods in philosophical analysis--was an important ingredient, many of the Oxford philosophers could not be called...
