More Alive
With characteristic accents, Elizabeth Anscombe shares her remembrance of Ludwig Wittgenstein:
‘He had an extraordinary understanding of why people thought the things that they did think in philosophical argument, so that, when he undermined it, his undermining showed that he was getting at the nerve, the root: it was not a superficial refutation.
He also struck one as a great deal more alive than almost anybody else.
He also had an amazingly good judgement of what it was it was sensible to tell somebody to read, what was right for them.’
It is a wonderful tribute.
