Curious, confounding and brilliant, Wittgenstein is a philosopher whom people find it easy to get obsessed with. In Investigating Wittgenstein, Giles Fraser explores the secrets of his attraction. The How to Believe series explores the teachings, philosophies and beliefs of major thinkers and religious texts. In a short, easy-to-access format, leading writers present new understandings of these perennially important ideas.

What seest thou, else?
Revisado: 11-25-20
Nietzsche stared into the philosophical abyss and saw God did not exist, and everything was permitted, and nothing is true.
Organized in seven roughly five-minute chapters, Giles Fraser uses a few ideas from Wittgenstein to point out instability in the otherwise robust Western ideology running from Medieval Catholicism to Modern Secularism.
Western Culture sees much but also presumes much, ignoring the light of Nature it cannot see. Wittgenstein, inspired by Goethe, seems to rejects philosophy as narrow in its knowledge. Reality goes beyond the limits of language, and language is woefully limited. Our problem is not that of making an argument but that of sense and perception.
It seems that Wittgenstein portends a certain decay and death arising from our pretentious belief in partial and universal values that claim immortality for their finite existence. We must expand our consciousness. If this takes the form of seeing God in the abyss, so be it.
