I finally finished it...I finally understand Wittengod...I understand that...I understand him, and yet, I have no clue what his actual point is. If somebody asked me to briefly summarize what Philosophical Investigations is about. I could only say "Words have meaning, its how we ordinarily use them, but at the same time they have no actual meaning and cant actually say anything about anything, that isnt fundamentally the literal use of the word in and of itself".
Honestly people constantly paint this guy as way more hostile to philosophy than he seems to be. It basically just feels like he thinks nothing can really mean anything and hes the first guy truly content enough with that fact to instill no values to anything, I think thats why It feels like he has no point. Even Nietzsche that challenged all meaning, still had an overarching philosophy that essentially said everything is will to power and suffering is good actually.
Anyway time to finally watch Jade Vine's video on this book.
