Citation from Ludwig Wittgenstein

 Citation from Ludwig Wittgenstein

TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS Translated by C. K. Ogden
Dover edition

Text is lined up according to the order of citation at the essay, The Time of Wittgenstein  
                                    
6.521
The solution of the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem.
 (Is not this the reason why men to whom after long doubting the sense of life became clear, could not then say wherein this sense consisted?)

6.432
 How the world is, is completely indifferent for what is higher. God does not reveal himself in the world.

6.35
Although the spots in our picture are geometrical figures, geometry can evidently nothing about their actual form and position. But the network is purely geometrical, and all its properties can be given a priori.
 Laws, like the law of causation, etc., treat of the network and not of what the network describes.

6.54
 My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)
 He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.

To my dear friend KANEKO Yutaka 2013-2015

 

To my dear friend KANEKO Yutaka

TANAKA Akio
 

We were always sitting at the right end of the classroom, where the seats were near the entrance from the corridor, so classmates entered the room with rattling noises. But we liked the seats rather satisfying. We were G class of the third year of high school, which class was all hoped to go universities of the mathematical or science fields. The seats were free to sit but almost determined by the personalities. The serious were sitting at the comparatively before widows sites. The seats were quiet and easy to concentrate. We were also serious to the learning but liked probably the worst seats that could not concentrate by the various noises for entering and out-going to the room. But we loved the seats.

Sometimes over our heads vain calculate-papers were being thrown to the can behind us. KANEKO Yutaka and I first met  at this class and became best friend. He probably hoped to go to chemistry and I was physics. He was very good at mathematics and I was ordinary at math. I sometimes asked him how to solve the hard quests of math. At that time he smiled to me and said, ” there’s any little paper? The problem can be written enough by such a little space.”

Over the our seats, papers were frequently flown to the end of the class where the trash can was set always filled with the calculate-papers for math and writing of English memos. The members of the class were all eager to solve math quests for preparing to entrance examinations to the universities. At the result they threw the used papers over us towards the can. So around the can, the scraps were littered with. I was never tidy but I was the nearest one to the can, so I sometimes went to trash dump to clean the can.

After we graduated the high school,  he studied chemistry as planned at university. But I selected language study, not physics. I also liked  philosophical or linguistic fields for their long historical heritages. What I returned to the field related with physics was already over the age 30s. As a result my research object has been narrowed to language universals using mathematical writing or physical approach.

After half a century, he died by disease in his researching way' while I have learnt same theme on language using maths way not solving any quest from 1920s’ Linguistic Circle of Prague. Over my head still now vain calculate-papers are being thrown to the can behind us. If I ask him to help me for solving, he will say to me wanting tiny paper to write the simple answer with his dear smiling as ever.
