Ludwig Wittgenstein on Language and Reality: The Philosophy on Constructing Meaning

Join us on an intellectual journey as we dive into the captivating world of Ludwig Wittgenstein, the influential philosopher who revolutionized our understanding of language, thought, and reality. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Wittgenstein's groundbreaking theories, ranging from the nature of language as a mirror of the world to the concept of language as a dynamic game with its own rules. Discover how language shapes our perception, knowledge, and experiences, and challenge your own understanding of the limits and possibilities of communication. Get ready to embark on a philosophical adventure that will broaden your horizons and ignite your curiosity about the intricacies of language and its profound influence on our lives.

Excellent.

These videos cover a wide spectrum. I’m glad someone is at least talking about Wittgenstein…..

[pezeron]

A lot of repetitions (mirror, mirror, mirror, ...) but what is missing are concrete examples. I guess I should just read Wittgenstein to understand this video. LOL.

Perhaps language is a virtual world that we construct in, or with, our minds. There are no words in the forest. A tree is not made of words. One must first be conscious before one can learn a language, and one must have a sensory capacity, so one exists long before one learns a language. Language is a descriptive simulation in thought, useful in an abstract mental arena, an abstract world.

A lot of simple, self-evident concepts, with a lot of hyperbole thrown in.

It'd be nice if we could reserve this comment section for Russians and Ukrainians and listen to their words.

The limits of one’s language is the limit of one’s World. Yes, perhaps to the extent one can adequately convey something indeed. But there are, as you mention in the video, those metaphysical things of significance that there are no words to describe. Can we push and broaden our language to do so? I say not without something still lacking and being suspect as the result. If the language could be, it would of been so already from the beginning. Aesthetic sensibility, for example. There’s no physical expression in those who are experiencing it necessarily, no tell tale sign. And for those that do, no way for them to describe it. But it’s there in our World and we know it by a unique sense alone, if even “sense” be the right word. I’m an artist, painter, and at a place where I’d hang out with other artists, who definitely have an acute sense of the visual aesthetic, whenever a show would open and each of us show up at different times, each would go check out the works first then come join the ones who’d arrived earlier. It’s funny, as each artist would join the others, each would mention the same work or works that everyone had too who came before, as being the ones that really “pop, ” an expression among artists and those of the art community meaning aesthetically powerful. Language can’t tackle everything real in our World that we know exists, and Wittgenstein was right to say we should just pass on over regarding trying to tackle it with language.

So are you saying he thought language was like a mirror to the world?

As far as I can see, if you really try to pin him down, insofar as what he is saying is meaningful, it is just plain wrong, and, insofar as it is true, it is just plain banal.

[anthonymckeown]

Very repetitive yes, and what it says is obvious to any writer.
