The Map Is Not The Territory

• All Wittgenstein is saying, ultimately, is that
  the map is not the territory. Philosophy is the
  map and reality is the territory.

3
A New Attitude

• The critical search for truth must be tolerant
  of ambiguity and pluralism, and its outcome will
  necessarily be knowledge that is relative and
  fallible rather than absolute and certain.

4
The Postmodern Mind

• The human mind never stands outside the world,
  judging it from an external vantage point. Every
  object of knowledge is already part of a
  preinterpreted context.

5
The Wittgenstein Family

• The correct method in philosophy would really be
  the following to say nothing except what can be
  said (science), which has nothing to do with
  philosophy.

6
The Problem of Language

• Words do not have simple meaning, but contextual
  meaning. The meaning of a word is its use in
  the language.

7
Wittgensteins Grave

• The language game All games are rule-governed.
  The meaning of a piece in the game is derived
  from its use according to the rules.

8
Cambridge University

• My aim in philosophy is to show the fly the way
  out of the bottle.

Summary

• Philosophy as a ladder He must transcend these
  propositions and then he will see the world
  aright.
