Просмотров 982 года назад

Maximizing Your Potential in Video Lectures
How have I managed to do a degree in philosophy (which focused on the works of Wittgenstein) and then three years post graduate work in philosophy (sadly not with a laser-like focus on the later works of Wittgenstein) and not be made aware of the distinction between 'notebooks', 'manuscript' and 'typescript' ? Essential when attaching the appropriate salience to Wittgenstinian arguments. We make this critical distinction when evaluating the work of an artist sketch/study/finished work; It should have been intuitively appropriate in judging the published work of philosophers! Thanks, Dr Wilson!
Thanks. And FYI, there is a helpful take on his work process in Monk's bio, p.319, if you ever need that.
