Ludwig Wittgenstein var omgiven av många av sin tids främsta tänkare, men en av de allra främsta är okänd för allmänheten Frank Ramsey. Helena Granström reflekterar över deras komplicerade vänskap. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen sänd 2021-03-17.Det är i efterhand inte alltid så lätt att säga exakt hur eller när en vänskap tar sin början, men i det här fallet är det ingen tvekan: Den börjar med ett märkvärdigt och svårgenomträngligt bokmanuskript, författat mer eller mindre nerifrån en av första världskrigets skyttegravar. I denna skrift menar sig författaren, den då knappt trettioårige österrikaren Ludwig Wittgenstein, ge en fullständig redogörelse för relationen mellan språk och verklighet. Texten pekar också mot filosofins begränsningar, och etablerar en distinktion mellan det som kan uttryckas klart och det som enbart kan gestaltas eller visas: ”Om det man inte kan tala måste man tiga.”1921 publiceras det som senare ska bli ”Tractatus logico-philosophicus” för första gången i en tysk tidskrift, och när den ett år senare utkommer på engelska är det tack vare ansträngningarna av Frank Ramsey, en 18-årig universitetsstudent som redan vid denna ålder utmärkt sig i såväl tyska som matematik, logik och filosofi.Och det är alltså här som relationen mellan de båda männen kan sägas få sin inledning: i och med Ramseys översättning av denna närmast oöversättliga lilla traktat, för vilken bokens förläggare väljer att ta åt sig hela äran. Det uteblivna erkännandet tycks emellertid inte bekomma Ramsey. Vad han i första hand tar med sig från arbetet med Wittgensteins Tractatus är filosofiska impulser som han sedan ska komma att ta spjärn emot under hela återstoden av sitt alltför korta liv. Det är emellertid inte ett förhållande präglat av okritisk beundran från Ramseys sida; snarare är det fråga om ett ömsesidigt utbyte mellan de två. Mellan Tractatus briljante men kryptiske och djupt obstinate författare, och det lågmälda och godmodiga underbarnet, som före sin död i sjukdom vid 26 års ålder även hann lämna betydelsefulla bidrag inom logik, matematik och ekonomi.Men, till en början har relationen mellan det kärva österrikiska geniet och hans begåvade brittiske översättare ändå tveklösa drag av kärlekshistoria. När Ramsey i september 1923 för första gången besöker Wittgenstein i den lilla österrikiska bergsby där filosofen, som skänkt bort hela sin del av familjens enorma förmögenhet, tjänar sitt uppehälle som grundskollärare, har rapporterna hem en närmast nyförälskad ton. ”När han förklarar sin filosofi är han upphetsad och gör stela gester”, rapporterar Ramsey, ”men han förlöser spänningen med ett charmerande skratt. Han har blå ögon. … Han är fantastisk.” Vilket inte utesluter att deras gemensamma genomgång av Tractatus var krävande: ”Det är förfärligt när han frågar 'Är det klart?' och jag säger ”nej” och han säger 'För helskotta, det är helt vedervärdigt att behöva gå igenom allt det där igen'. … Han glömmer ofta bort innebörden av saker han skrivit fem minuter tidigare, och drar sig till minnes den igen först senare.”Det är en påfrestning i relationen som för Ramseys del bara kommer att växa sig starkare, så att han under ett besök året därpå i sina brev hem konstaterar att den stora filosofen inte är bra för hans arbete: ”Pekar man på en frågeställning vill han inte höra ens eget svar på den, utan börjar bara genast försöka komma på ett själv. Och det är så enormt hårt jobb för honom, som att knuffa någonting alldeles för tungt uppför ett berg. ”Ännu ett år senare inträder en kris i förhållandet mellan de båda, till stora delar föranledd av Wittgensteins oförsonliga attityd gentemot sin omgivning. När de sammanstrålar hemma hos ekonomen John Maynard Keynes, ett par veckor efter Keynes bröllop och några dagar före Ramseys eget, oroar sig Ramsey för hur han ska underhålla sin krävande vän, eftersom denne bara vill befatta sig med de mest seriösa diskussioner, men dessa å andra sidan tenderar att leda till så våldsamma meningsskiljaktigheter att de blir helt omöjliga. Det mest positiva Ramsey har att rapportera i sina brev är Wittgensteins vana att framföra komplexa operastycken med bara munnen till hjälp: ”Han visslar fantastiskt”.Att Wittgenstein efter mötet hemma hos Keynes plötsligt bryter kontakten med Ramsey har åtminstone delvis att göra med att deras meningar går isär angående psykoanalysens fader Sigmund Freud, som Wittgenstein menade var moraliskt förkastlig: ”Moraliskt sett är Freud ett svin eller något liknande, men det ligger mycket i vad han säger. Förresten är det samma sak med mig. Det ligger mycket i vad jag säger.”.Wittgenstein var, vilket Ramsey alltså fick erfara, en man med ett oerhört strängt moraliskt system som han lät omfatta såväl andra som sig själv; en man förmögen att producera aforismer av typen ”den som inte är beredd att göra sig själv illa kan inte tänka ordentligt”.Vilket möjligen kan läsas som ett avfärdande av den jämförelsevis sorglösa Ramsey; icke desto mindre hittar de två tillbaka till varandra när Wittgenstein efter upprepade övertalningsförsök återvänder till Cambridge 1929. Den förälskade spänningen mellan dem tycks intakt, liksom svårigheterna: Deras samtal är, skriver Wittgenstein, ”som något slags energikrävande sport och genomförs med gott humör. Det är något erotiskt och chevalereskt över dem.” Ramsey å sin sida rapporterar hur Wittgenstein driver honom till vansinne genom att komma in i arbetsrummet och inte säga någonting utom ”jag är så hopplös” – för att därefter starta ett uppslitande filosofiskt gräl, som inte sällan slutar med att båda männen faller i gråt.Ramsey kom allteftersom tiden gick att vända sig mot Tractatus filosofiska system i allt högre grad; han kritiserade Wittgenstein bland annat i frågan om språklig mening, matematiska utsagors innebörd, och sinneserfarenhetens plats i filosofins teoribyggen. Något som tycks ha provocerat Wittgenstein: efter Ramseys död i gulsot år 1930 skriver han att han fann dennes sinne frånstötande och fult, och att hans kritik inte var av den kreativa, stimulerande typen, utan den hämmande.Inte förrän långt senare, i sin skrift Filosofiska undersökningar, ska Wittgenstein vidgå sin yngre kollegas inflytande. Där skriver han att han kommit att inse de misstag han gjorde i Tractatus, och att denna insikt – ”i en utsträckning som [han] knappast själv kan bedöma” – stammar från den kritik som riktades mot dem av Frank Ramsey, som dryftade dem med honom i otaliga samtal under de två sista åren av sitt liv.Och kanske kan man säga att Ramsey därmed gavs erkännande för ett av vänskapens viktigaste element, nämligen integritet, som han förmådde uppvisa också i relation till ett arrogant geni som bestraffade i princip allt som inte var beundran från omgivningen med vrede och fördömanden. Ramsey förblev fast i sin vänskap, men också fast i sin intellektuella övertygelse – ett sätt att beskriva det är att han tog Wittgensteins egen filosofi och vände den emot honom genom att sträva efter att på en gång göra den mer mänsklig, och mer konsekvent. ”Det vi inte kan tala om kan vi faktiskt inte tala om”, påminde han sin vän och fortsatte ”och vi kan inte vissla det heller.”Helena Granströmförfattare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematikLitteraturCheryl Misak, "Frank Ramsey.

🎙️ Estimados oyentes y mecenas: En el episodio de hoy continuamos nuestro recorrido por la obra de Ludwig Wittgenstein, adentrándonos en la etapa del llamado segundo Wittgenstein. Abordaremos su retorno a la filosofía, el surgimiento de la teoría de los juegos de lenguaje y su concepción de la filosofía como terapia lingüística, destinada a disolver confusiones más que a construir sistemas. Cerramos el episodio examinando diversas críticas a esta perspectiva desde varios marcos metafísicos —como el tradicionalismo o el idealismo— que cuestionan los límites y alcances de su propuesta. Gracias por acompañarme una vez más en este viaje por la filosofía del lenguaje. Vuestra escucha y apoyo son esenciales para que este proyecto siga creciendo. 📗ÍNDICE 0. Resúmenes iniciales. VIDA 1.

🎙️ Estimados oyentes y mecenas: En este episodio continuamos nuestra exploración del pensamiento de Ludwig Wittgenstein, adentrándonos en la dimensión más “mística” del Tractatus, esa zona fronteriza donde el lenguaje calla y, sin embargo, algo esencial se muestra. Examinaremos también la interpretación no neopositivista de la obra, que permite comprenderla no como un tratado científico, sino como un intento de señalar los límites del decir para dejar espacio a lo inexpresable. Cerramos el episodio con la lectura de un fragmento del Tractatus y de una carta de Wittgenstein a uno de sus editores, en la que se revelan claves íntimas de su intención filosófica. Gracias por acompañarme en esta aventura intelectual y por el apoyo que hace posible seguir profundizando juntos en estas grandes obras del pensamiento. 📗ÍNDICE 0. Resúmenes iniciales. VIDA 1.

He has published across a broad range of philosophical subjects, including philosophy of language, philosophy of education, ethics, aesthetics, environmental philosophy, animal ethics, philosophy of technology, philosophy of religion, history of both Western philosophy and Asian philosophy, and modern European philosophy, especially Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein. He is the author of several books, the most recent one being Pessimism, Quietism and Nature as Refuge. In this episode, we focus on Pessimism, Quietism and Nature as Refuge. We start by discussing what is misanthropy, what is pessimism, and how pessimism combines with misanthropy. We talk about the human condition, and whether it can be improved. We then get into quietism, nature as refuge, and preserving nature.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Dans ce numéro du magazine IDÉES, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit Elise Marrou. Professeure de philosophie contemporaine et d'histoire de la philosophie moderne à l'Université Paris-Sorbonne, elle nous propose une lecture synthétique et pédagogique de l'œuvre de Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), figure centrale de la philosophie contemporaine, dans un «Que sais-je», aux PUF. Elise Marrou / Cairn info. Philosophe du langage, mathématicien, ingénieur, Wittgenstein est présenté comme un penseur à la fois rigoureux et singulier dont la trajectoire intellectuelle échappe aux classifications simplistes. «Considéré comme l'un des plus grands penseurs du XXè siècle, Wittgenstein n'a publié que deux ouvrages, le «Tractatus logico-philosophicus» et les «Recherches philosophiques» qui, chacun à leur manière, ont provoqué une révolution philosophique profonde», écrit-elle. Non, dit-elle, contrairement à ce que l'on dit souvent de lui, il n'a pas tué la philosophie Bien au contraire car, ajoute-t-elle : «Si nous prenons réellement la peine de nous immerger dans l'œuvre du philosophe viennois, nous nous trouvons confrontés à un philosophe au service des problèmes de la philosophie comme personne peut-être ne l'a été avant lui» ; Au cours de l'émission, et au fil des pages de cet ouvrage utile pour quiconque veut comprendre ce penseur, Elise Marrou insiste sur le double moment de la pensée wittgensteinienne : celle du «Tractatus logico-philosophicus», où le langage est conçu comme un miroir du monde, et celle des «Recherches philosophiques», où la signification devient affaire d'usage et de pratiques sociales. Cette évolution, loin d'être une contradiction, est interprétée comme une radicalisation du projet initial : clarifier les confusions philosophiques en examinant les formes de vie et les jeux de langage. L'auteure déconstruit les slogans souvent associés à Wittgenstein — «la signification, c'est l'usage», «ce dont on ne peut parler, il faut le taire» — pour en restituer la profondeur. Elle montre comment il nous propose une nouvelle manière de faire de la philosophie : non en construisant des systèmes, mais en dissipant les malentendus nés de l'usage du langage. «Le philosophe se remémore l'usage ordinaire des mots afin de les reconduire de leur usage métaphysique à leur usage ordinaire». L'ouvrage met en lumière l'impact de Wittgenstein dans le monde des idées. Elise Marrou souligne que des notions comme «coutume», «institution», ou «forme de vie» permettent de penser les pratiques humaines sans recourir à des abstractions métaphysiques. Cette transversalité est au centre du livre : elle montre que Wittgenstein n'est pas seulement un philosophe du langage, mais un penseur de la culture, des usages, et des formes de rationalité incarnées. Dans ce numéro d'IDÉES et dans cet ouvrage, Elise Marrou nous propose une synthèse accessible et rigoureuse. En évitant les simplifications, elle invite les auditeurs et les lecteurs à entrer dans le détail des textes, tout en fournissant les repères nécessaires pour naviguer dans une pensée réputée à juste titre difficile.

🎙️ Estimados oyentes y mecenas: En el episodio de hoy nos acercamos a la figura de Ludwig Wittgenstein, discípulo aventajado de Bertrand Russell y una de las mentes más enigmáticas y decisivas de la filosofía contemporánea. Repasaremos su biografía y su peculiar recorrido vital, y nos centraremos en las tesis fundamentales del Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, donde se plantea la relación entre realidad, pensamiento y lenguaje y el célebre límite según el cual “de lo que no se puede hablar, es mejor callar”.

Most think that algorithms are the modern root cause of innovations. But says not only are organizations today powered by data, they innovate through data. With several other colleagues, Marta is bringing data studies back to the forefront of information systems research. She produces workshops, a forthcoming book, and an online bibliography with seminal readings. We talk to Marta about the relationship between data and meaning, representation versus innovation, and whether we all soon live in a hyperreality created through synthetic data that lost all connection to the real-world.

Une initiation à l'éthique pour penser sa vie autrement avec Clément Bosqué, philosophe praticien À la rencontre de la force d'âme : un chemin pour penser sa vie La vie éthique et morale devient passionnante dès lors qu'on apprend à la regarder avec les bonnes lunettes.

🎙️ Estimados oyentes y mecenas: En este episodio concluimos nuestro recorrido por el pensamiento de Bertrand Russell, una de las figuras más influyentes de la filosofía del siglo XX. Analizaremos su teoría de las descripciones, clave en el desarrollo de la lógica moderna, su debate intelectual con el segundo Wittgenstein, donde se evidencian dos visiones opuestas del lenguaje y la realidad, y finalmente, su crítica al cristianismo, reflejo de su visión de una razón libre de dogmas religiosos. Gracias por seguir acompañándome en este ciclo dedicado a la filosofía del lenguaje. Vuestro interés y apoyo hacen posible que sigamos pensando juntos. 📗ÍNDICE Introducción a la Filosofía del Lenguaje. 0. Resúmenes iniciales. 1. VIDA Y OBRAS. 2.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Bo Tarenskeen, theatermaker. Zijn voorstelling Wittgenstein 2. Aan de taal ligt het niet, is deze weken in het theater te zien. De voorstelling toont hoe taal, retoriek en existentiële angst ingezet – en misbruikt – worden in tijden van ontwrichting en politiek geweld. Het stuk, dat zich afspeelt tegen de achtergrond van de ondergang van de Weimar Republiek, werd lovend ontvangen en sleepte in 2024 twee Theo d'Or-nominaties in de wacht: zowel voor Lowie van Oers (meest indrukwekkende dragende rol) als voor Tarenskeen zelf, in de categorie ‘Meest grensverleggende podiumprestatie'. Met alles wat er nu in de wereld speelt heeft de voorstelling alleen maar aan urgentie ingeboet. Wittgenstein 2 maakt deel uit van HET WITTGENSTEIN PROJECT, een reeks van elf voorstellingen die Tarenskeen wijdt aan het leven en werk van filosoof Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Gerade ist die zweite Staffel der Erfolgsserie Oktoberfest 1905 gestartet und wir werfen einen Blick in die historische Realität eines Volksfestes im Umbruch. Exemplarisch dafür steht die erste riesige Bierburg des legendären Wiesnwirts Georg "Schorschl" Lang mit eigener Blaskapelle und Platz für Tausende von Menschen. Doch während das Geschäft mit dem Bier boomt, kursieren auch auf den Wiesn Gerüchte über absichtlich nicht voll eingeschenkte Krüge. Wir gehen dem auf die Spur und besuchen zusätzlich völlig neue Fahrgeschäfte und die diskriminierenden "Menschenschauen", die damals Teil der Wiesn waren. Mit dabei ist auch Filmproduzent Alexis von Wittgenstein, mit dem wir darüber sprechen, was in seiner Serie Oktoberfest 1905 Fiktion ist und was Wirklichkeit.
In Folge 6 vertiefen Fritz Simon und Andreas Kollar das Thema Sprache im Kontext von Erkenntnisprozessen. Was unterscheidet Beschreibung, Bewertung und Erklärung? Wie entstehen Bedeutungen im Gebrauch? Und warum braucht man für manche Worte eigentlich einen Waffenschein? Zwischen Paradoxie-Maschine, Busunfall und Wittgenstein geht es um die Frage, wie Sprache Realitäten erschafft, begrenzt – oder verflüssigt. Inhalte der Episode • Widerstand als Paketbegriff Wie Begriffe in der Beratung Bedeutung verdichten: Beschreibung, Bewertung, Erklärung werden oft vermischt. • Dreifache Unterscheidung Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen lassen sich differenzieren: Beschreiben (Was geschieht?), Erklären (Warum?), Bewerten (Wie ist das?). • Wirkung durch Wortwahl Worte tragen implizite Bedeutungen. Die Zuschreibung von Kausalität beeinflusst Entscheidungen (Medikamente vs. neuer Job). • Sprache schafft Wirklichkeit Begriffe sind Rorschach-Tests. Bedeutung ist weder festgelegt noch beliebig – sie entsteht im Gebrauch. • Konfliktebene Sprache In Konflikten weiß man oft nicht, worauf der andere reagiert: auf das Gesagte, das Gemeinte oder das Gehörte? • Die Logik der Sprache vs. die Logik des Lebens Sprachliche Paradoxien führen zu Oszillationen. Prozesse verlaufen anders als Aussagen. • Paradoxie-Maschine Eine selbstgebaute Lampe mit Lichtsensor erzeugt eine technische Paradoxie: an-aus-an-aus. Wie viele Konflikte auch. • Weiche vs. harte Realitäten Psychische Realität ist veränderbarer als physische, aber nicht beliebig formbar. Veränderung braucht Kontext. • Geschichten vs. Theorien Theorien objektivieren. Geschichten erzeugen Identifikation. Beratung verändert oft die erzählte Dramaturgie. • Sprachverkehr als Beziehungsgeschehen Worte sind nie neutral. Sie treffen, verletzen, bewegen. Bedeutung entsteht relational, nicht lexikalisch. Takeaways • Sprache transportiert immer auch Bewertungen und Erklärungen – oft unbewusst. • Beschreibung, Erklärung, Bewertung müssen unterschieden werden, um gezielt intervenieren zu können. • Sprachlogik erzeugt Realitäten - auch paradoxe. • Geschichten wirken länger als Theorien. • Worte haben Wirkung: "Ein falsches Wort kann eine Beziehung beenden." Markante Zitate • "Begriffe sind wie Pakete. Man muss sie manchmal entwirren, bevor man sie verstehen kann." • "Wenn ich meine Kinder positiver bewerte, erkläre ich ihr Verhalten anders." • "Die Logik der Sprache erlaubt Paradoxien – die Logik der Zeit nicht." • "Ein falsches Wort kann eine Beziehung beenden." • "Der Gebrauch bestimmt die Bedeutung der Worte."

Philosophy passage got you spiraling? In this CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack unpack the “Wittgenstein and Mathematics” daily passage (Sept 17) and show you exactly how to read dense, abstract prose without panicking.- How to anchor yourself on clear sentences (and ignore the “interesting nonsense” that isn't testable)- The core claim: mathematics = a kind of logic built on rules — and why that repeats (so it's the main idea)- Early vs. later Wittgenstein: from one monolithic language → many language games (each with its own rules)- How to track shifts between language, logic, and math without getting lost- When to slow down, when to move on, and how to extract the main idea fastPro tips covered:-Use contrast/qualifiers (“in fact,” “later,” “still”) to spot high-yield sentences-Treat ultra-dense lines as support, not the thesisBefore you watch:Read the Sept 17 daily passage: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/wittgenstein-and-mathematicsWant to learn more?

Imagine this: You're walking past a shallow pond and spot a toddler thrashing around in the water, in obvious danger of drowning. You look around for her parents, but nobody is there. You're the only person who can save her and you must act immediately. But as you approach the pond you remember that you're wearing your most expensive shoes. Wading into the water will ruin them—and might make you late for a meeting. Should you let the child drown? The philosopher Peter Singer published this thought experiment in 1972, arguing that allowing people in the developing world to die, when we could easily help them by giving money to charity, is as morally reprehensible as saving our shoes instead of the drowning child. Can this possibly be true? In Death in a Shallow Pond, David Edmonds tells the remarkable story of Singer and his controversial idea, tracing how it radically changed the way many think about poverty—but also how it has provoked scathing criticisms.Death in a Shallow Pond describes the experiences and world events that led Singer to make his radical case and how it moved some young philosophers to establish the Effective Altruism movement, which tries to optimize philanthropy. The book also explores the reactions of critics who argue that the Shallow Pond and Effective Altruism are unrealistic, misguided, and counterproductive, neglecting the causes of—and therefore perpetuating—poverty. Ultimately, however, Edmonds argues that the Shallow Pond retains the power to shape how we live in a world in which terrible and unnecessary suffering persists. David Edmonds is the bestselling author of many critically acclaimed and popular books on philosophy, including Wittgenstein's Poker (with John Eidinow). His other books include Parfit, The Murder of Professor Schlick, and Would You Kill the Fat Man? (all Princeton). A Distinguished Research Fellow at the University of Oxford's Uehiro Oxford Institute and a former BBC radio journalist, Edmonds hosts, with Nigel Warburton, the Philosophy Bites podcast, which has been downloaded nearly 50 million times.

Episode 112: It's not fun to be in a YMC, eh? Apply to join us as a co-host! https://astrosoundbites.com/recruiting-2025 In today's episode, Cormac, Shashank and Lucia come together to crack open the craziness inside Young Massive (Stellar) Clusters - some of the most exciting neighbourhoods in our Universe. They're a very hot topic at the moment, and not just because of their intense radiation - they host the majority of massive stars, and ancient YMCs might be the ancestors of the globular clusters that orbit our own Milky Way today. Shashank shares a recipe for cooking up YMCs through a computational collision, and Lucia takes a peek at YMCs emerging from their dust-embedded embryonic environs. We round off with a casual discussion of whether simulationists are taking Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus a bit too literally and chat about our favourite star clusters.

What if the ideas that linger in the back of your mind — the ones you can't quite explain — are the ones you most need to pay attention to?Episode SummaryIn this episode, I explore that question with Dr Nuno Reis, a former physicist and investment banker turned thinker and guide in uncovering what he calls rare dots — those unique, pre-verbal insights that feel deeply resonant but don't yet fit into our existing models of the world.Our conversation begins with Nuno's unusual career path, from string theory and theoretical physics into financial modelling and risk management, before moving into transparency roles in finance. From there, we trace the thread of his enduring curiosity: how crises drive paradigm shifts, why models are useful but limited, and what happens when we acknowledge that not everything fits into neat rational frameworks.Nuno then introduces the concept of rare dots and explains how he's harnessing AI in a novel, deeply human way: not to replace thought, but to help us surface the preverbal ideas that shape our uniqueness. Together, we explore how rare dots can guide creativity, meaning, and innovation in our work and lives — and why paying attention to the things that don't quite make sense may be the most sensible thing we can do.Guest BiographyDr Nuno Reis describes himself as a physicist turned banker turned explorer of human thinking. After completing a PhD in theoretical physics with a focus on string theory, he transitioned into investment banking at UBS and later into financial engineering and transparency initiatives at Bloomberg.Over 18 years in finance, he applied scientific methods to risk modelling, hedging, and complex derivatives, all while maintaining a deep curiosity about the limits of logic and models.Today, Nuno is the creator of the Rare Dots framework, which helps individuals and organisations uncover the pre-verbal insights that drive creativity and meaning. He combines philosophy, history of thought, and cutting-edge uses of AI to build environments where people can explore their deepest intuitions.Through workshops, cohorts, and his own practice, he guides others in turning those rare dots into pathways for innovation, purpose, and contribution.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary[00:00:00] Introduction and framing of rare dots as preverbal insights[00:01:00] Nuno's background: from physics to banking and financial modelling[00:06:00] Applying scientific methods to markets and the 2008 crisis[00:12:00] Replication crisis and paradigm shifts in science[00:18:00] Early story of curiosity and existential questions[00:21:00] Introduction of rare dots as deeply resonant insights[00:26:00] How resonance and intuition shape meaning[00:30:00] Creating environments to surface rare dots[00:35:00] History of thinking vs history of ideas[00:40:00] Using AI as a tool for rare dots and Wittgenstein's ladder[00:46:00] How AI can surface pre-verbal thinking[00:52:00] AI as a prompt for deeper human thinking[00:56:00] Rare dots exploration as an infinite game[01:02:00] Rare dots as a guide for careers and human valueLinksNuno on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nuno-reis/Nuno's Substack - https://nunobreis.substack.com/
To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement — the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Professor Ben Nathans — is perhaps the sharpest, richest, and funniest account of the Soviet dissident movement ever written. Today, we'll interview Nathans alongside the legendary Ian Johnson, whose recent book Sparks explores the Chinese dissident ecosystem. We discuss… The central enigma of the Soviet dissident movement — their boldness in the face of hopeless odds, How cybernetics, Wittgenstein, and one absent-minded professor shaped the intellectual backbone of post-Stalinist dissent, Why the Soviet Union was such fertile ground for dark humor, and why humor played a vital role for Soviet resistance movements, How the architect of Stalin's show trials laid the groundwork for, ironically, a more professional legal system known as “socialist legality,” Similarities and differences between post-Stalinist and post-Maoist systems in dealing with opposition, Plus: Why Brezhnev read The Baltimore Sun, how onion-skin paper became a tool of rebellion, and why China's leaders study the Soviet collapse more seriously than anyone else.

Send us a textIn this engaging conversation with Dr. Genia Schönbaumsfeld, we explore the radical philosophical journey of Ludwig Wittgenstein—from the tightly structured propositions of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the later insights of Philosophical Investigations. Dr. Schönbaumsfeld unpacks the deep shifts in Wittgenstein's view of language, logic, and meaning, and how these changes shaped the development of analytic philosophy. Whether you're a student of philosophy, a fan of Wittgenstein, or simply curious about how language shapes thought, this video offers an accessible yet rigorous overview of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

In 1897, Gustav Klimt led a group of radical artists to break free from the cultural establishment of Vienna and found a movement that became known as the Vienna Secession. In the vibrant atmosphere of coffee houses, Freudian psychoanalysis and the music of Wagner and Mahler, the Secession sought to bring together fine art and music with applied arts such as architecture and design. The movement was characterized by Klimt's stylised paintings, richly decorated with gold leaf, and the art nouveau buildings that began to appear in the city, most notably the Secession Building, which housed influential exhibitions of avant-garde art and was a prototype of the modern art gallery. The Secessionists themselves were pioneers in their philosophy and way of life, aiming to immerse audiences in unified artistic experiences that brought together visual arts, design, and architecture.

Vita, libri e pensiero di Ludwig Wittgenstein, filosofo e ingegnere austriaco considerato uno dei massimi pensatori del XX secolo e autore, tra gli altri, di libri come Della certezza.
Today we talk about the late work of Wittgenstein in Philosophical Investigations. We talk about the meaning of words. Augustine's theory. Forms of life. Rules and practices. Grammar. Geometry. Family resemblance. And the role of a philosopher on the other side of accepting this view of language. Hope you love it. :) Sponsors: ZocDoc: https://www.ZocDoc.com/PHILO Quince: https://www.QUINCE.com/pt Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Thank you so much for listening!

In the first of a three-part series on Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), Let Us Think About It delves into the concept of contingency. Host Ryder Richards guides listeners through Rorty's radical argument that language, selfhood, and liberal communities are not grounded in universal truths but are crafted through historical chance, like tools in a dynamic toolkit. Drawing on Chapter 1, Ryder explores how language, far from mirroring reality, builds truths through evolving vocabularies, with examples like the French Revolution and Donald Davidson's “passing theories.” Chapter 2 reveals the self as a contingent construction, sculpted through redescriptions, as seen in Freud and Proust. Chapter 3 examines liberal societies as experimental creations, sustained by imaginative solidarity rather than fixed foundations, referencing Isaiah Berlin and Judith Shklar. While admiring Rorty's vivid metaphors and provocative ideas, Ryder critiques his potentially reductive view, questioning whether freedom alone can ensure moral progress. Packed with direct quotes and punchy insights, this episode sets the stage for upcoming discussions on irony and solidarity. Tune in to rethink how we create our world with the tools of language!
The journey in search of the destinationDoes life have a purpose? Is that what gives life meaning? Or is it the journey that matters the most?Join our four speakers - Nietzschean philosopher Babette Babich, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis, existentialist philosopher Jonathan Webber, and linguist philosopher Sandra Laugier - as they explore the different facets of this question. Setting ourselves goals in life seems both inevitable and necessary for the good life, yet achieving them might render living life meaningless. The balance between having a sense of purpose and experiencing things as they come is a hard one to set.Do you think life must have a purpose?

Together, we talk about seeking meaning, uncovering religious truths, and making the most of the precious gift we call “life.” In this episode we discuss: How do we know if Judaism is “real” and true? How is a religious commitment like a romantic one? Which is more important: Judaism being true or Judaism being useful?Tune in to hear a conversation about the ways in which we chase truth and determine how we ought to live our lives. Interview begins at 19:29.Follow-up Hagler interview begins at 1:19:04.

durée : 00:03:35 - Le Pourquoi du comment : philo - par : Frédéric Worms - Qu'est-ce que l'intériorité ? Comment s'exprime-t-elle ? Est-ce un mythe ? Et si elle était moins une réalité cachée qu'une manière de nous raconter ? Contestée par Wittgenstein et Sartre, la notion d'intériorité résiste pourtant aux critiques. - réalisation : Rafik Zénine
"I live on the Danish island of Bornholm, which is in the western end of the Baltic Sea. People here share a long, rich history with the Baltic countries, so choosing a field-recording from Tallinn felt natural. The dastardly Russian war feels really close here at the moment, and many of us here are more conscious about our cultural heritage and friendship across the sea now than we used to be. "This is, however, not a work about war, but more about celebrating the fact that we're still able to take a silly walk through the old historical part of Tallinn, not being at war, walking through a town that isn't in ruins - and simply exploring and enjoying what that's like. "As you can probably hear, all sounds heard throughout the piece are from the original field-recording. I've used samplers and various sampling effects (like delays and reverbs), and a ton of manual edits (literally thousands of manual edits made over a two week period). The tonal sounds were made with "frozen reverbs". All this editing mainly serves to enhance the original recording, which is kept mostly intact (the enhanced version follows the original recording closely - and therefore also ahas the same duration). "The effect is a sort of personal interpretation of micro-events along the way, as I responded to them while slowly working my way through the piece. "The idea of doing it this way was partly inspired by reading Wittgenstein's "Philosphische Untersuchungen". At one point the philosopher asks about thought-images: "How does one point twice at the same image?" (PU 382), - and, in a way, this way of working with field recordings is a possible answer to this - presenting the same image twice in two different versions at the same time." Tallinn old town walkthrough reimagined by Samatha Dubs (Karsten Høegh).
In this season-opening episode of Hotel Bar Sessions, Rick Lee and Leigh Johnson welcome new co-host Talia Mae Bettcher, a leading voice in trans philosophy and feminist theory, to dive into the deceptively simple but persistently perplexing question: What is philosophy?This wide-ranging conversation explores whether philosophy is defined by its methods (argument, critique, concept creation), its outcomes (or lack thereof), or the scenes and communities in which it takes place. Along the way, the hosts discuss credentialism in academia, gatekeeping in the discipline, and how philosophy might survive outside the university.Drawing on thinkers like Graham Priest, Gilles Deleuze, Wittgenstein, Richard Rorty, Kristie Dotson, and Pierre Hadot, the trio refuse to close the question. Instead, they ask: Can philosophy remain meaningful in a world that demands clear outcomes and fixed definitions? Is staying with the question itself the real task?Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or new to the field, this episode invites you into an ongoing, unfinished conversation—over drinks, at the bar, where the real philosophy happens.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/what-is-philosophy-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

This sponsored episode features mathematician Ohad Asor discussing logical approaches to AI, focusing on the limitations of machine learning and introducing the Tau language for software development and blockchain tech. Asor argues that machine learning cannot guarantee correctness. Tau allows logical specification of software requirements, automatically creating provably correct implementations with potential to revolutionize distributed systems. The discussion highlights program synthesis, software updates, and applications in finance and governance.SPONSOR MESSAGES:***Tufa AI Labs is a brand new research lab in Zurich started by Benjamin Crouzier focussed on o-series style reasoning and AGI.

On episode 233, we welcome Constantine Sandis to discuss the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, his lifelong preoccupation with the question of understanding others, the social and clinical consequences of misunderstanding others, Wittgenstein's personal struggles with misunderstanding, criticisms of empathy and how it may lead to further conflict as opposed to resolving it, the problem of mind-reading, understanding culture as opposed to another's inner drives, and the significance of self-reflection. Constantine Sandis is Director of Lex Academic, Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. His books include The Things We Do and Why We Do Them, Philosophy of Action: An Anthology, and Human Nature, and From Action to Ethics: A Pluralistic Approach to Reasons and Responsibility. His newest book, available March 11, 2025, is called Wittgenstein on Other Minds: Strangers in a Strange Land. | Constantine Sandis | ► Website | https://www.constantinesandis.com ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/csandis ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/csandis ► Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/csandis.bsky.social ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/csandis ► Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/constantine-sandis-723454a4 ► Wittgenstein on Other Minds Book | https://bit.ly/3Ff6458 Wittgenstein on Other Minds Discount Code for 35% Off: SEWPC35 Where you can find us: | Seize The Moment Podcast | ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/SeizeTheMoment ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/seize_podcast ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seizethemoment ► TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@seizethemomentpodcast
In this episode, Megan and Frank discuss the philosophical dimensions of prehistory. What and when is the “prehistoric”? How was prehistory "discovered", and what explains our fascination with it? Is ancient archeology safe from our biases? And how did archaic man's meaning-making differ from our own? Thinkers discussed include: Colin Renfrew, Hegel, Charles Taylor, Mircea Eliade, and Wittgenstein.-----------------------Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.
