Martin Shuster is kind enough to thank me (I'm not sure what for, but I'm not complaining) in the acknowledgements in his book on New Television. I've only read the introduction so far, but it looks great; a really nice combination of fun subject matter and Cavell-style scholarship.
Something I have read all the way through is Gabriel Citron's paper on Wittgenstein and philosophical virtues: "Honesty, Humility, Courage, and Strength". It's a bit depressing (your mileage may vary) to compare yourself with Wittgenstein's ideal and see how far short you fall, but it's a very good account of Wittgenstein's values.
what makes them "philosophical" virtues? any relationship between Witt's list and his logic?
ReplyDeleteThey are the virtues that Wittgenstein seems to have thought were needed to do good philosophy, based on various things he said or wrote throughout his life. I don't think there's any particular link with logic.
Deleteso more conditions for rather than deductions from, thanks
DeleteYes, that's right
