Yes, I have been looking forward to this. Thank you. Victor, would you consider making a small selection of flashcards to share along with the videos? Remnote is a great tool, where you simply use the format: question == answer, which then creates flashcards for imprinting terms or key points to memory. This is my attempt, feel free to critique: - What is the primary focus of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus?→The nature of language, logic, and reality - What is the main idea of the "Picture Theory of Language" in the Tractatus?→Language represents reality by depicting states of affairs as pictures. - How does Wittgenstein describe the relationship between language and the world?→He argues that language and the world share a logical structure, and propositions are meaningful if they can picture facts about the world. - What does Wittgenstein mean by "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world"?→The boundaries of our language determine the boundaries of what we can think and talk about. - How does Wittgenstein define a "proposition" in the Tractatus?→A proposition is a statement that can be true or false and represents a possible state of affairs. (image: proposition propeller) - What is Wittgenstein's view on metaphysics in the Tractatus?→He contends that metaphysical statements are nonsensical because they cannot be verified by experience or logical analysis. - What does Wittgenstein mean by "logical space"?→The possible arrangements of objects that could exist in the world (a form of all possible worlds), which are represented by propositions. - How does Wittgenstein address the concept of "truth functions" in the Tractatus?→He explains that the truth of propositions is determined by the truth functions of their components, which can be combined to form complex statements. - What is the significance of Wittgenstein's concept of "syntax" in the Tractatus?→Syntax refers to the rules governing the structure of propositions, which must conform to logical principles to be meaningful. - How does Wittgenstein's Tractatus influence the philosophy of language?→It laid the groundwork for logical positivism and later analytic philosophy, emphasizing the connection between language, logic, and reality.
I’ve read the Tractatus about three or four times since you last posted 😂 still don’t understand it that well. Thanks for continuing the series, you’ve made me very happy.
i am waiting for Video 9!
Amazing! I am so happy that this series is back :)
THE KING IS BACK!

I hope it helps! :D
Wittgenstein was up himself; we don't need the language police to tell us what proposition is right and wrong when it comes to articulating sentences
