A brillian lecture that I'll be recommending to all of my students! Also precious are comments from John Corcoran at the end (ontological square, relations, indefinite propositins, regimented English vs. FOL newspeak, Boole as an Aristotelian). I miss these great teachers from my graduate studies in Buffalo. And I am really grateful to them!

Wittgenstein I had no Vienna Circle intention with Tractatus, his intention seems to already then have been a pruning of what he saw as common "superstitions" of philosophy itself, then mainly typical over-generalizations of confused and ambiguous concepts such as "free will" (I can take a lot of others too, but that would superimpose my thinking upon him, so I won't) If this appearance is supported by other observations about him, Wittgenstein I and Wittgenstein II do similar things: restrict the ideation in itself by readdressing thinking to practical examples by "language games". To me it doesn't at all appear that Wittgenstein even approached "atomism" and the idea that reduction into parts reveal all connections that there are to be concluded. This atomist pseudo-Wittgenstein is an invention by the Vienna Circle, that are doing something quite different: imposing restrictions about what we are allowed to reason about by labeling every haram-question as "metaphysics". The Vienna Circle were physicists, while the real Wittgenstein was a language guy.
