या पुस्तकातील माझे अत्यंत आवडणारे quote : “We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all.”
प्राध्यापक सुधीर बोस
(S K Bose) यांनी दिल्लीच्या सेंट स्टीफन
कॉलेजमध्ये १९४० साली द फिलॉसॉफिकल सोसायटीची स्थापना केली. प्रा बोस हे Wittgenstein यांचे विद्यार्थी होते, ज्यांच्या ( Wittgenstein) Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus ला २०२१ साली १०० वर्षे पूर्ण होत आहेत.
रे मॉंक त्यांच्या 'Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius' गाजलेल्या पुस्तकात लिहतात :
“…Many who had heard of Wittgenstein as the author of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus imagined him to be an old and dignified German academic, and were unprepared for the youthfully aggressive and animated figure they encountered at meetings of the Moral Science Club. S. K. Bose, for example, who subsequently became one of the circle of Wittgenstein’s friends and admirers, recalls:
My first encounter with Wittgenstein was at a meeting of the Moral Science Club at which I read a paper on ‘The nature of moral judgement’. It was a rather largely attended meeting and some people were squatting on the carpet. Among them was a stranger to all of us (except, of course, Professor Moore and one other senior member possibly present). After I had read the paper, the stranger raised some questions and objections in that downright fashion (but never unkind way) which one learned later to associate with Wittgenstein. I have never been able to live down the shame I felt when I learnt, some time later, who my interlocutor had been, and realised how supercilious I had been in dealing with the questions and objections he raised."
