Philosophy Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.”

“That of which we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence”

“Don't”

“There is a truth in Schopenhauer’s view that philosophy is an organism, and that a book on philosophy, with a beginning and end, is a sort of contradiction. ... In philosophy matters are not simple enough for us to say ‘Let’s get a rough idea’, for we do not know the country except by knowing the connections between the roads.”

“Most of the propositions and questions to be found in philosophical works are not false but nonsensical.”

“I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.”

“Question the answers, I repeated every class. Reevaluate your conclusions when the evidence changes.”

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”

“Some years ago I was struck by the large number of falsehoods that I had accepted as true in my childhood, and by the highly doubtful nature of the whole edifice that I had subsequently based on them. I realized that it was necessary, once in the course of my life, to demolish everything completely and start again right from the foundations if I wanted to establish anything at all in the sciences that was stable and likely to last.”

“Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off.”

“To establish that a rule is likely to be true, one must try to prove it false.”

“Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.”
