Two Sentences on Wittgenstein Worth Remembering

 

"Wittgenstein's philosophy is an ascetic therapy of desire intended to return himself and others to a form of life that neither is, nor takes itself to be, dependent on an essentially explanatory approach to topics like truth and meaning. It is a form of pragmatism in part because it recommends seeing a life of sound understanding as prior to philosophy."
