Goodness, Jude, have you actually read any Wittgenstein? If I ever try him, I should do it in German, because then I could pretend that it was the language barrier that kept me from understanding him (my German is many levels below that) but I doubt that I'm up to him in any language.

JudeS · « **Reply #1701 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:12:23 PM »

PAt-
Yes, I actually read the whole book. A lot of it was difficult to understand but the parts that made sense made great sense.

Of course the reason behind the reading of this book was that I once had a supervisor who deeply influenced my work. He was constantly quoting from this book. I bought the book at the time but never read it. While trying to write about that period I thought it might be a good idea to finally read the book in order to understand some of the ideas I had used in working with children.
So I slogged through it and found it was worth it. I would not suggest you read it unless you really have a good reason or were very curious or liked philosophy.
