Week 4: Reasonable Logic (post 7)

This book by Ludwig Wittgenstein is pretty much a large cluster of many things that he had stated during his life. I found many of these short sentences that he stated to be very confusing, but some of them were interesting to ponder upon. For example," 2.14 The picture consists in the fact that its elements are combined with one another in a definite way." This statement is an interesting one, because it can mean so much and it's so precise. A picture is a picture because it is whole and complete, and without any of its elements combined being present, it isn't a picture.

I believe that when reading Wittgenstein's statements you would literally have to be in his mind at the time he said these, because they are so abstract and can mean so much to someone. However, the main thing is that he himself put meaning to his statements and beliefs and that's all that matters. I just wish I knew what all he said truly meant in detail to him.
