Libere dissociazioni (Grazie comunque, Sigmund, è stato bello. Il fatto che W. - che palesa grande ammirazione per la poetica freudiana - dica che Freud "fa qualcosa di immensamente errato", con il suo determinismo mitologico, è rassicurante e varrebbe in sé la lettura di questa raccolta di appunti con annessa trascrizione di una conferenza). Liberi oscuramenti, libere domande sul linguaggio che circolano con dignità propria. Spesso con troppe risposte per averne una, spesso non installabili prima delle risposte: piuttosto e coraggiosamente, dopo. (Ti chiedo perché : per quale motivo ma anche in quanto tu hai risposto). Qui si gioca a sentire e ad assumere un'estetica indescrivibile, un'etica incodificabile, una psicologia non interpretabile, credenze religiose non riconducibili. Le regole del gioco cambiano più o meno a ogni giro. Chi ha difficoltà a tenere gli occhi aperti nel buio oppure, indifferentemente, a farsi bendare, dovrà cercare altrove. Le altre e gli altri, se mai ne avessero voglia, potrebbero iniziare da qui (valutando eventualmente anche il facile e triste utilizzo ideologico dell'attitudine descritta): L'attrattiva di certi tipi di spiegazione è irresistibile. In un dato momento, l'attrattiva di un certo genere di spiegazione è più forte di quanto puoi immaginare. In particolare, la spiegazione del tipo "Questo, in realtà, è solo questo" e magari fermarsi e pagare felicemente pegno qui: Ho ridotto in pezzi la prova di Ursell, ma, dopo che lo ebbi fatto, Ursell disse che la prova aveva per lui un certo fascino. Qui avrei solo potuto dire "Non per me, io la detesto" finire poi in gloria con Lucy van WittgPelt:

As someone who writes, in other words, tries to put the images that are in my mind as words on a page - I, of course, have a profound respect for the writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Not the easiest philosopher to follow or understand, but personally speaking, he's the most rewarding with respect to my writing. The beauty of his thought is not the end of the process, but the journey itself. I often think that Wittgenstein is struggling to make himself understandable to his readers and students. "Lectures & Conversations" is an absorbing book. It's ironic that it's a book about communicating what you think, but here, it is being filtered and written down as notes by his students in Cambridge in the 1930s. The primary focus of this small book is aesthetics. In how one sees something and how they describe that experience. In this part of the book alone, there are two students' notes of the lecture, which is interesting because you're getting the same information (we think), but the fact that it is two separate people, how they process that information. So overall the book is about what Wittgenstein is stating, bu then how that information or his thoughts are being dealt with in a lecture format. The other subject matters in this book are psychology and religious belief. Wittgenstein reading Freud is a mind-bending experience. The landscape is so huge, and Wittgenstein I feel works best in a smaller context. For instance, what is on the table, and what does that mean to you? He didn't comment on that, but I'm just using that as an example, compared to the meaning of dreams. Since I have been reading off and on, Wittgenstein, for the past five years or so, I can see his presence in my work. I don't fully grasp everything he writes or lectures about, but I get the 'drift.' In his nature, he writes like a poet, who thinks logically. I'm a fan of Wittgenstein.
