Philosophical questions, when you boil them down to what they
really amount to, change their aspect entirely. What evaporates is
what the intellect cannot take. MS 159, 3b.
Philosophical investigations: conceptual investigations. The
essencial thing about metaphysics: it obliterates the distinction
between factual and conceptual investigations.
Philosophy is embodied not in propositions but in a language.
A main souce of our failure to understand is that we do not command
a clear view of the use of our words. Our grammar is lacking in
perspicuity....PI 42.
It is the task of philosophy to achieve an order, an order which
gives complete clarity.
Der Begriff der uebersichtlichen Darstellung is fuer uns von
grundlegender Bedeutung. Er bezieichnet unsere Darstellungsform,
die Art wie wir die Dinge sehen.
Diese uebersichtliche Darstellung vermittelt das Verstaendnis,
welches eben darin besteht, dass wir die "Zusammenhaenge sehen".
Daher die Wichtigkeit des Findens von Zwischeng liedern.
(connections, itermediate-links) RFGB 9
(read further: "formalen Zusammen hangs = formal connections) see
how he ties to set up connections with ghost, shade, soul, spirit)
We must distinguish the concepts from each other one by one..It is
helpful to note both differences and similarities. Man 167.
The matter cannot be clarified by raging against your words, but by
trying to turn your attention away from the use of the words (Man
228, $44; cp $$120,144). It is never right to say simply: 'no, that
is false, it must be abandoned'. (man 112, 197; cp $$423-24;Z 460)

> other hand, this whole line of commentary was a joke, it wasn't funny.
I know it is NOT funny...because:
"
Philosoph isn't anything except philosophical problems, the
particular individual worries that we call "philosophical
problems:"
What has to be overcome is not a difficulty of understanding but of
the will. PI 59-60.
Philosophy has close affinity to Politics. (Ibn Rushd's Commentary
on Plato's Republic)
