Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein fue un filósofo, matemático, lingüista y lógico austríaco, posteriormente nacionalizado británico. Publicó el Tractatus logico-philosophicus,[1]​ que influyó en gran medida a los positivistas lógicos del Círculo de Viena,[2]​ movimiento del que nunca se consideró miembro. Tiempo después, el Tractatus fue severamente criticado por el propio Wittgenstein en Los cuadernos azul y marrón y en sus Investigaciones filosóficas, ambas obras póstumas. Fue discípulo de Bertrand Russell en el Trinity College de la Universidad de Cambridge, donde más tarde también él llegó a ser profesor. Wikipedia

Ludwig Wittgenstein Frases y Citas

“Traducción: Sentimos que aún cuando todas las posibles cuestiones científicas hayan recibido respuesta, nuestros problemas vitales todavía no se han rozado en lo más mínimo. Por supuesto que entonces ya no queda pregunta alguna; y esto es precisamente la respuesta.”

"Wir fühlen, daß selbst, wenn alle möglichen wissenschaftlichen Fragen beantwortet sind, unsere Lebensprobleme noch gar nicht berührt sind. Freilich bleibt dann eben keine Frage mehr; und eben dies ist die Antwort."
Fuente: Tractatus lógico-philosophicus, 6.52, 1922.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: Frases en inglés

“If I cannot say a priori what elementary propositions there are, then the attempt to do so must lead to obvious nonsense.”

5.5571
Original German: Wenn ich die Elementarsätze nicht a priori angeben kann, dann muss es zu offenbarem Unsinn führen, sie angeben zu wollen.
1920s, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922)

“The world is my world: this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand) mean the limits of my world.”

1920s, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922)
Contexto: This remark provides the key to the problem, how much truth there is in solipsism. For what the solipsist means is quite correct; only it cannot be said, but makes itself manifest. The world is my world: this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand) mean the limits of my world. (5.62)

“What has to be overcome is not difficulty of the intellect but of the will.”

Fuente: 1930s-1951, Philosophical Occasions 1912-1951 (1993), Ch. 9 : Philosophy (chapters 86–93 of the so called Big Typescript), p. 161
Corresponding to TS 213, Kapitel 86
Contexto: What makes a subject difficult to understand — if it is significant, important — is not that some special instruction about abstruse things is necessary to understand it. Rather it is the contrast between the understanding of the subject and what most people want to see. Because of this the very things that are most obvious can become the most difficult to understand. What has to be overcome is not difficulty of the intellect but of the will. [Nicht eine Schwierigkeit des Verstandes, sondern des Willens ist zu überwinden. ]

“All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein libro On Certainty

On Certainty (1969)
Contexto: 105. All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments; no it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which our arguments have their life.

“One would like to say: This is what took place here; laugh, if you can.”

Fuente: 1930s-1951, Philosophical Occasions 1912-1951 (1993), Ch. 7 : Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough, p. 123
Contexto: A religious symbol does not rest on any opinion. And error belongs only with opinion. One would like to say: This is what took place here; laugh, if you can.

“The world is the totality of facts, not things.”

1.1
Original German: Die Welt ist die Gesamtheit der Tatsachen, nicht der Dinge
1920s, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922)

“A hero looks death in the face, real death, not just the image of death.”

Fuente: Culture and Value (1980), p. 50e
Contexto: A hero looks death in the face, real death, not just the image of death. Behaving honourably in a crisis doesn't mean being able to act the part of a hero well, as in the theatre, it means being able to look death itself in the eye.
For an actor may play lots of different roles, but at the end of it all he himself, the human being, is the one who has to die.

“The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which our arguments have their life.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein libro On Certainty

On Certainty (1969)
Contexto: 105. All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system.

“Man has to awaken to wonder — and so perhaps do peoples.”

Fuente: Culture and Value (1980), p. 5e
Contexto: Man has to awaken to wonder — and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.

“The arrow points only in the application that a living being makes of it.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein libro Philosophical Investigations

§ 454
Philosophical Investigations (1953)
Contexto: "Everything is already there in...." How does it come about that [an] arrow points? Doesn't it seem to carry in it something besides itself? — "No, not the dead line on paper; only the psychical thing, the meaning, can do that." — That is both true and false. The arrow points only in the application that a living being makes of it.

“Frazer is much more savage than most of his savages, for they are not as far removed from the understanding of spiritual matter as a twentieth-century Englishman.”

Fuente: 1930s-1951, Philosophical Occasions 1912-1951 (1993), Ch. 7 : Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough, p. 131
Contexto: Frazer is much more savage than most of his savages, for they are not as far removed from the understanding of spiritual matter as a twentieth-century Englishman. His explanations of primitive practices are much cruder than the meaning of these practices themselves.

“What stands fast does so, not because it is intrinsically obvious or convincing; it is rather held fast by what lies around it.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein libro On Certainty

On Certainty (1969)
Contexto: 144. The child learns to believe a host of things. I. e. it learns to act according to these beliefs. Bit by bit there forms a system of what is believed, and in that system some things stand unshakeably fast and some are more or less liable to shift. What stands fast does so, not because it is intrinsically obvious or convincing; it is rather held fast by what lies around it.

“To pray is to think about the meaning of life.”

Journal entry (11 June 1916), p. 72e and 73e
1910s, Notebooks 1914-1916
Contexto: What do I know about God and the purpose of life?
I know that this world exists.
That I am placed in it like my eye in its visual field.
That something about it is problematic, which we call its meaning.
This meaning does not lie in it but outside of it.
That life is the world.
That my will penetrates the world.
That my will is good or evil.
Therefore that good and evil are somehow connected with the meaning of the world.
The meaning of life, i. e. the meaning of the world, we can call God.
And connect with this the comparison of God to a father.
To pray is to think about the meaning of life.

“Translated: Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein libro Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

7
Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen.
Also: About what one can not speak, one must remain silent. (7)
Fuente: 1920s, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922)

“I am my world.”

The microcosm.
5.63
Original German: Ich bin meine welt (Der Mikrokosmos.)
1910s, Notebooks 1914-1916
Variante: Man is the microcosm:
I am my world.

“If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.”

Variante: If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.
Fuente: Culture and Value (1980), p. 50e

“The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have known since long.”
