# Tractatus Is Heavily Misunderstood It seems that almost no one actually understands "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" by Wittgenstein. People write literal nonsenses since they couldn't understand anything. It's sad because Tractatus is one of my favorites. Especially logical positivists were complete morons. Forget about all you have read on the picture theory of language and blah blah. It is not THAT important part considering what he wanted to write. So this is the summary of the book: ## Summary 1. Logic is meaningless. And I have LOGICALLY explained that throughout the whole book. It just DESCRIBES the phenomenal world. Or it can be tautology which also doesn't mean anything. > 6.52. We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be > answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at > all. Of course there is then no question left, and just this is > the answer. > 6.54. [...] > > (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed > up it.) > > He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the > world aright. 2. Do not logically explain things that can't be logically explained. > 7. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. 3. For things that can't be logically explained, SHOW rather than saying. > 6.522. There is indeed the inexpressible. This SHOWS itself; it > is the mystical. So the book is in the line of Kant-Schopenhauer. But also pro-Palamas & anti-Aquinas. And I think you can SHOW by making art.
