Wittgenstein’s contribution to philosophy is, Analytic Philosophy. I’m not sure what it means, but from Wikipedia, it describes Ludwig’s views as “concepts do not need to be clearly defined to be meaningful.”
I believe this may be true depending on who the listener is.
I had these neighbors whom some might consider to be “ghetto.” They don’t care about speaking or writing properly, and they have developed their own style of language, that only they can understand. Some of the things they say, or talk about I have a hard time understanding, because I have been conditioned to speak, the way society considers appropriate.
I guess this perception could also apply to them. The way I speak or the words I choose to use might appear foreign to them. I have been told, the way I speak can be intimidating. I guess this theory could also apply to me reading about Ludwig, his views are way over my head.
I myself struggle with conveying facts to the person I am speaking with. I can understand most things I read, but I do struggle with how I articulate it back to a listener. I wondered if my inability to communicate effectively has something to do with my heart chakra, until I read Ludwig’s view, “Human beings are aware of the facts by virtue of our mental representations or thoughts, which are most fruitfully understood as picturing the way things are.”
I don’t know what I am trying to say here. These are my thoughts: because of my own personal struggle to express myself through language, I began to believe it was spiritual. I believed if I meditate long enough or prayed hard enough, I would be able to speak as powerful as I think my own personal thoughts are. I do believe that facts can be understood solely by the listener and their view of the world. If I’m a positive person than my language is positive, and those listening around me can understand and relate. If I am a negative person, then my language is negative and those who think like me, understand and can relate.
