Today, it is limited to the study of speech (see Carnap, Wittgenstein and the other mediocre philosophers).


agreed for carnap not for wittgenstein.

as a matter of fact to see carnap and wittgenstein in the same sentence is a bit strange.

carnap had not understood anything about mathematical logic use and tried to overgeneralize it (even frege was not doing that, nor russel). wittgenstein had not and is certainly not what is called an "analytic" philosopher. Nor is Hintikka. mediocre philosophers? Don't think so...

If you compare tractacus with husserl's Ideen though you will see that wittgenstein is all except an analytic and a mediocre philosopher...

just they've learned that philosophy as a global speech had its limit too.

ho and when i speak about wittgenstein i spak only about the first... the one from the tractacus... the second has just made what the first had foridden...
