Hey there!
I'm trying to run with the philosophy thing myself (as you can tell by my username). I'm more focused on logic, so I'm more of a Fregean or Russellian myself. However, I do appreciate the occasional linguistic confusion joke.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Nice! I'm a big fan of logic, and Russell. And when I finally got Cantor's diagonal argument it blew my tiny little mind. Have you read Wittgenstein's Tractatus?
I actually haven't tackled the Tractatus. I've been wary to try because I've been told it was a difficult read and not very accessible. I have only read excerpts from the Blue and Brown Books. His notion of language games is very interesting.
Your lecturers and TAs/tutors will probably hate me for this, but you totally should take a look at the Tractatus. It's very short. Don't expect to understand it (I know I don't). But if you are into logic, you'd probably get something out of it. If nothing else you can bask in the freakish elegance of it. I'll be posting about that and Philosophical Investigations later in the year, as well as Kripke's Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language (which is a book that will really bake your noodle).
