Wittgenstein's Ladders
Wittgenstein has influenced much of philosophical thought over the past century but can be a notoriously difficult read. However, his work is thought-provoking and is referenced in many different fields.
This is an online group and, to get us going, I will circulate a short extract of his writing of around 10 minutes reading-time. This will be the starting point for our discussion – first, to try to work out what Wittgenstein means, before opening out the topic to introduce alternative approaches and what the ideas might mean in practice. The hope is that this will lead to a lively debate, albeit one that is grounded in philosophy.
Wittgenstein covered so many topics, I’m sure there will be a broad range of subjects that are of interest.
If you would like to get to grips with a more complete work, you may be interested to join our Reading Wittgenstein group. Either way, please get in touch.
