Not going to look it up, No offense. But his point was that metaphysics tries to talk about the totality of reality. that is the problem

You are to be avoided, troll. Sad you do this on a philosophy website.

Yes, lol. Deep insight.

Actually, in the P.I. he does say metaphysics is incoherent. you don't have to agree with him.

Just curious if you could name 15 more important philosophers than Wittgenstein in the 20th C.

Juvenile. Learn some manners.

I do not think Derrida argued that language is arbitrary.

Don't agree with him on what? He never claimed a language game is arbitray.

Players agree on what the piece is--but only in friendly games. i don't believe you could do that in a tournament.

Chess is not utter nonsense. I think you really don't know shit about Wittgenstein.

Chess has rules. If you do not play by the rules it is not chess. Why is this hard to comprehend?

I do not think you understand what Wittgenstein meant by language game. If you think he meant they are arbitrary then you know nothing about Wittgenst...

Never heard about any aliens.

What aliens?

you can cheat at chess, yes

No, chess is universal and has the same rules. You can play fantasy chess but both players have to agree on the rules.

Absolutely not. Chess is a game. You cannot move the king like a queen. Not arbitrary.

Wittgenstein never said language use was arbitrary. Words have meaning within any 'game.'

We are using English. You did not invent that language.

No. Words don't become what you want them to. That is solipsism.

Heisenberg would not call himself a philosopher. Most know him as a physicist.

being there. or, being here. dasein is used quite consistently.

He's the most important philosopher of the 20th Century.

I think he believed metaphysics was incoherent.

I really don't know why you keep saying that. Wittgenstein is not King of Philosophy.

Okay. Are you saying this is a problem for Wittgenstein? How?

I never got that from him. Care to explain?

I don't read him like that. I never thought he was commanding people what they're allowed to do.

Good illustration. Basic intro to rhetoric: Keep it simple.

Please explain what you mean, thanks.

No. There are only different uses.

Rejection of private language. Not clear if he thought there was a mind.

That's a good way of putting it.

Why would you publish a paper stating that you agree with everything Professor X said?!

The question is what is philosophy supposed to do? I don't think philosophy should be like science since science is essentially about solving physical...

I'm not against Heidegger. He has done a lot of important work.

The problem I have with Heidegger is that people get lost in his jargon and discuss his terminology without ever stepping outside it.

You did. But...clearly you want no discussion. Have a good evening.

You brought it up. Was it irrelevant to you?

ontos just means "thing"

I don't think we are disagreeing. But, again, for Aristotle it does literally mean the growth of a plant.

Everything living decays and eventually dies. What do you disagree with?

phusis means growth. So, so nature is a process of growth--as well as decay.

You will be ignored by most people here. You are a know nothing jerk.

Change from what?

The Big Bang is not about something coming into existence. So, it is just an original state from which we explain the history of our universe.

Good question. The God of the Bible is a benevolent tyrant. Plato said the gods do not argue therefore there has to be one God. Seems petty.
