माझा सांगाती ल्यूडवीग विटगेनस्टाईन...Really Clever Ludwig Wittgenstein@130

#LudwigWittgenstein130

Ludwig Wittgenstein:

“We feel that even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched.”

John Gray:

"The best book ever written by a philosopher on religion is William James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902). Approaching faith in a pragmatic and empirical spirit, James – brother of the novelist Henry James – focuses on experiences rather than beliefs. Faith is a matter of how one lives, not a theory that can be verified or falsified. His book was much admired by Ludwig Wittgenstein, a deeply religious person who never subscribed to any religious belief."

 

"Something as ancient, as profound, as inexhaustibly rich as religion or religions can’t really be written off as an intellectual error by clever people. Most of these clever people are not that clever when compared with really clever people like Wittgenstein or Saint Augustine or Pascal — all philosophers of the past who seriously engaged the religious perspective."

.... आणि अशा 'Really Clever' विटगेनस्टाईन यांचे दर्शन 'अष्टदर्शने', २००३ ले: विंदा करंदीकर मध्ये नाही... डेव्हीड ह्यूम ,  जॉर्ज  सँटायाना  यांचे पण नाही.... धर्माचे महत्व गंभीरपणे मांडण्याचा प्रयत्न विंदांनी त्या पुस्तकात कुठेही केला नाहीये... तो केला असता तर विटगेनस्टाईन यांना त्यांना टाळताच आले नसते... फार अपुरे पुस्तक आहे ते आहे असे मला आता जास्त, जास्त  वाटू लागले आहे.
