Lire, interpréter, déconstruire : de Machiavel à Gadamer

Lire un texte, ce n’est pas extraire des données : c’est entrer dans un dialogue avec lui, examiner ses présupposés, ses non-dits et sa grammaire. De Ricœur à Derrida, de Wittgenstein à Gadamer, le sens apparaît comme une relation vivante, jamais comme une évidence brute. #Hermeneutics #Deconstruction #Wittgenstein #Gadamer #Philosophy L’idée de départ est simple : lire n’est pas consommer de l’information, mais…

Language is overrated. In this Substack piece, I scrutinise language and the fact that much of language is extraneous. As for spoken language, many utterances are not strictly necessary, though they are functional.

https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/pass-the-salt

I shake hands with #Austin, #Derrida, #Searle, #Wittgenstein, #Nietzsche, and #Barthes on this journey – even a bout with #Pinker.

Update to ‘An Annotated Mathematician’s Apology’, with a new section on Wittgenstein’s response: https://archive.org/details/hardy_annotated (accessible #TaggedPDF, #OpenAccess)

My thanks go to Wolfgang Kienzler, professor at Friedrich Schiller Universität in Jena, who pointed me to Wittgenstein’s remarks, sent me notes about relevant sources, and critiqued my draft for the new section.

Sprache ist die Infrastruktur unseres Denkens. Je nachdem welche Begriffe wir nutzen, um über Wahrscheinlichkeitsautomation ("KI") nachzudenken, lassen wir unser Denken an unterschiedlichen Stellen enden.

#Wittgenstein shows up, too:

1) Apparently he doodled faces while teaching and writing & occasionally used them in class. The article gives a nice example where Wittgenstein uses a doodle to parse how we detach faces from facial expressions -- "a face 'has' a particular expression" -- at least in theory.

2) His comment on the #MonaLisa: "When we speak of the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, that may well mean that we ask ourselves: In what situation, in what story, might one smile like that?"

Right. So maybe someone has written an interpretation for mere mortals. I should check.

Apparently #Wittgenstein was a #virtuoso #whistler who could #whistle whole movements of #symphonies, “his showpiece being Brahms’s St Anthony Variations,” according to the biography #LudwigWittgenstein: The Duty of Genius by #RoyMonk.

“(Wittgenstein) urged Britton, as he urged most of his students, to avoid becoming a teacher of #philosophy. There was only one thing worse, and that was becoming a #journalist.” - #RayMonk, Ludwig #Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius.
