it wasn't so much that
I didn't
UNDERSTAND
twentieth century philosophy
as that
I maybe
wasn't that impressed with most of it
I like LOGIC just fine
BUT
I'm MORE interested in
SAYING SOMETHING
than
FIDDLING around with tweaker fine points
of what we can
MEANINGFULLY
SAY
which is WHY I prefer
I guess
APPLIED philosophy instead of
"pure" whatever
I spent a lot MORE time
on Being and Time
than the tractatus
BECAUSE
I had more CONTEXT
with Hegel, and Nietzsche, and all the
GERMAN film I studied
& trying to tease out
just how Nazi
I actually thought Heidegger was
BUT
he didn't think I understood Heidegger EITHER
TRACTATUS
is a little math-y somehow
for me
