I am curious to here what we have to say about the ideas of "ludwig wittgenstein". That our world is limited language. I have used his ideas to make myself understood.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I love the Tractatus for it's brilliance, precision and density. And I love it's ideas about the shortcomings of language. However it's main problem is it's lack of internal consistency. When one applies its own standards of validity to itself it does not meet it's own criteria and " . . . thereof one must remain silent"
Edit:. I.e. the picture theory of meaning cannot itself be expressed pictorially.

Nice. You are the second to mention the idea.
That of which we cannot speak, we must remain silent.
