PHILOSOPHY

 

“Philosophy just puts everything before us, and neither explains nor deduces anything.—Since everything lies open to view there is nothing to explain” (PI 126).

“The work of the philosopher consists in marshalling reminders for a particular purpose” (PI 127)

“there is not a single philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, different therapies, as it were” (PI 133d). 

“a philosophical problem has the form: ‘I don’t know my way about.’” (PI 123),

philosophy is “to show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle” (PI 309).

“and this simply means that the philosophical problems should completely disappear” (PI 133). 

“Discovery is the one that enables me to break off philosophizing when I want to” (PI 133).
