Wittgensteinism

Wittgensteinism is a philosophy created by Ludwig Wittgenstein. His work spanned from logic and metaphysics to ethics and religion, and he challenged many of the assumptions and methods of traditional philosophy.

History
Ludwig Wittgenstein was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, but his life was also full of drama, mystery, and contradiction. He was born into a wealthy and cultured family in Vienna, Austria, in 1889, but he renounced his inheritance and lived in poverty for most of his life. He studied engineering, mathematics, and logic, but he also had a passion for music, art, and architecture. He served as a soldier in World War I, where he wrote his first masterpiece, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, but he later rejected its main ideas and turned to a different style of philosophy. He taught at Cambridge University, where he influenced many students and colleagues, but he also spent long periods of time away from academic life, working as a gardener, a teacher, or a recluse. He struggled with his sexuality, his religion, and his moral ideals, and he died of cancer in 1951, leaving behind a legacy of original and profound thought.

Beliefs
Wittgensteinism is a philosophy which explores the nature and limits of language, logic, and thought. Ludwig Wittgenstein is widely regarded as one of the most original and influential thinkers of the 20th century, but his views on ethics and religion are less well-known and more controversial.
