that is, the ideas developed in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus of 1921-1922, as well as in his posthumously published works (the most important of which is the Philosophical Investigations).\u003cbr\u003e However, we will focus only on the electrical aspects.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Rather, I focused on his life during the ten years after World War I.\u003cbr\u003e This period is a mysterious period with no written records.\u003cbr\u003e There are two reasons why I emphasize this. \u003cbr\u003eOne is that what I know about Wittgenstein during this period may contribute to a better understanding of him, something important.\u003cbr\u003e Another thing is that I have come to believe, by chance, that this transitional period was in many ways the most important in his life.\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.11-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After drinking tea, I started looking around for an older man in his late fifties or early sixties who might have been a student of Wittgenstein.\u003cbr\u003e In the corner of the restaurant, an old country woman wearing black clothes and a white trestle was busily sweeping the floor.\u003cbr\u003e So I approached her and asked if she knew anyone named Wittgenstein, or anyone who knew him.\u003cbr\u003e I expected an embarrassing excuse, but instead I heard a shocking sound. \u003cbr\u003e“Wittgenstein! Ludwig Wittgenstein? That teacher! Oh, of course I know him!” \/ The old woman asked me how he was doing.\u003cbr\u003e As it turned out, she was in her early 70s.\u003cbr\u003e I should have said he died in 1951.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, Wittgenstein's radical efforts to reform the peasantry - even among the thousands he encountered in three villages - ended in miserable failure.\u003cbr\u003e The peasants he tried to help not only rejected him, but eventually drove him out of the village.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, his efforts may have been successful in ways he didn't realize.\u003cbr\u003e Because Wittgenstein had a profound influence on the rural children he taught, and the children had a profound influence on him.\u003cbr\u003e (…) In his life, Wittgenstein taught only two kinds of people. \u003cbr\u003eThey were privileged adults who were his students and colleagues at Cambridge, and poor rural children from Austria.\u003cbr\u003e His later philosophy shows that he learned as much from children as from adults, perhaps even more.\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.95-96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If we want only his thoughts, we can find many other, more lucid writers.\u003cbr\u003e Those who were influenced by him, especially those close to him, treated him as if he were a spiritual leader, as if he were the world soul.\u003cbr\u003e As if they were almost supernatural figures, spirit guides, shamans, priests, sorcerers, mystical figures, or spirits trapped in matter.\u003cbr\u003e Wittgenstein was a fascinating figure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e

\u003cbr\u003eThe ten years of Wittgenstein's life after 1919, when he completed the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and is said to have 'left philosophy', are a mysterious period of time about which no records have been written.\u003cbr\u003e William Bartley, who was researching Austrian intellectuals such as Karl Popper and Hayek, happened to come across material from 1919 to 1929, the period called the \"dark decade\" in Wittgenstein's life.\u003cbr\u003e As I researched the material about Wittgenstein's life during his time as an elementary school teacher in a mountain village in Austria, parts that had previously seemed disjointed and inexplicable began to make sense and fall into place.\u003cbr\u003e Bartley argues that this 'silent period' is a crucial period that sheds light on understanding Wittgenstein's philosophy. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to him, after the publication of the Tractatus, Wittgenstein never abandoned philosophy, but rather began to formalize the concerns that dominated his later philosophy, as shown in the Investigations.\u003cbr\u003e This book caused a huge sensation in the Western philosophical world and intellectual society, especially because it was the first to expose Wittgenstein's homosexuality, and the author suffered a series of consequences, including being expelled from the academic society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTen years of teaching and wandering after the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus\u003cbr\u003e A problematic work that delves into Wittgenstein's life and thoughts during his 'lost time'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While writing intellectual biographies of Austrian intellectuals such as Karl Popper and von Hayek, Bartley stumbled upon Wittgenstein's material from 1919 to 1929, the decade known as his \"lost time.\" \u003cbr\u003eThere is no record of the period when Wittgenstein 'left philosophy' after completing the Tractatus, which is considered one of the most important books in the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e Bartley saw a connection between the Austrian school reform movement of the time, the psychology of Karl Bühler, and Wittgenstein's later thought, and to confirm this, he visited Trattenbach and Ottertal, mountain villages in Austria where Wittgenstein had worked as a teacher.\u003cbr\u003e There Bartley meets Wittgenstein's former students who still remember him as their elementary school 'teacher'.\u003cbr\u003e They were a woman in her seventies busily scrubbing the floor in the corner of a country restaurant, the son of the grocer where Wittgenstein had lodged, a widower in his mid-sixties whom Wittgenstein had once tried so hard to adopt, or farmers whose only education was elementary school.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom them Bartley obtains “the most detailed and factual information about a man whose name I have hitherto only encountered in books.”\u003cbr\u003e Bartley also spent late nights wandering Vienna's Prater and browsing London's gay bars, gathering information from everyone who remembered Wittgenstein, from Vienna's top cultural figures to a toothless schoolmaster to an elderly gay man in his regular bar.\u003cbr\u003e The resulting book sparked a heated debate in Western intellectual society immediately after its publication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe philosophical gap between Wittgenstein's early and later thoughts revealed through diligent field research.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As is well known, Wittgenstein is considered the greatest philosopher of the 20th century and left behind two important philosophical books. \u003cbr\u003eOne volume is the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, written during World War I, and the other is the Philosophical Investigations, published posthumously and left unfinished.\u003cbr\u003e Yet, surprisingly, Wittgenstein's footsteps during the period after the completion of the Tractatus, when he worked as a teacher, gardener, and architect, remained shrouded in mystery for decades after his death.\u003cbr\u003e Most scholars dismissed this period as nothing more than an eccentricity or an aberration not worthy of serious study, usually describing it in a few sentences or a paragraph.\u003cbr\u003e Was there any special reason why Wittgenstein's executors were silent about this period?\u003cbr\u003e Through encounters with Wittgenstein's family and academic acquaintances, as well as with local residents who were his students and colleagues during his elementary school days, Bartley sheds new light on this period of Wittgenstein's life and thought, which had been shrouded in darkness. \u003cbr\u003eBartley shows that, contrary to popular belief, Wittgenstein never left philosophy, and that his teaching years were a time of silent practice of the 'philosophy of the unspeakable', as he declared at the end of the Tractatus.\u003cbr\u003e It also shows that at that time, striking images were already appearing in Wittgenstein's thought that formalized the concerns that dominated his later philosophy, such as language learning, primitive language, and the possibility of private language.\u003cbr\u003e By providing a missing link between Wittgenstein's early and later philosophy, Bartley overturns the popular notion that Wittgenstein's later philosophy emerged in the early 1930s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“What are we going to do with Bartley?”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, in his biography of Wittgenstein, which is recognized as the definitive biography of Wittgenstein, author Ray Monk says this: \u003cbr\u003e“The question I was asked most often while writing this book was, ‘What are we going to do with Bartley?’\u003cbr\u003e The question was how I would deal with Bartley's claim that Wittgenstein was a promiscuous homosexual in my book.\" As this remark suggests, Bartley's book was the first to address the issue of Wittgenstein's homosexuality.\u003cbr\u003e Even though the book's central theme was not Wittgenstein's homosexuality, it caused a huge sensation in conservative intellectual circles when it was first published in 1973.\u003cbr\u003e The attacks from Wittgenstein's executor continued unabated, and Bartley suffered even expulsion from the academic society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In response to these criticisms, Bartley revised the book, adding evidence and deepening the discussion of homosexuality, adding \"After 1985: Wittgenstein and Homosexuality.\" \u003cbr\u003eToday, there is no longer any room for debate about this, as it has been proven through Wittgenstein's coded diary that he had a homosexual relationship with Francis Skinner and others.\u003cbr\u003e However, Bartley firmly draws a line against some attempts to connect homosexuality and Wittgenstein's thought and presents a meticulous counterargument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bartley also makes it clear that the book was not written by a follower, as he was a disciple of Karl Popper and disagreed with core assertions of Wittgenstein's early and later philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e He confesses that he finds Wittgenstein's philosophy sometimes useful, but overrated. \u003cbr\u003eBartley does not offer any criticism or evaluation of Wittgenstein's life and thought, but rather focuses on establishing what his concerns were and what he said about them, thereby contributing to a clearer understanding of Wittgenstein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRecommendation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After learning of Bartley's research on the so-called 'lost' time in Wittgenstein's life, I encouraged him to write this book.\u003cbr\u003e His findings may come as a sensational shock to some readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Walter Kaufman, Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A book full of lies and nonsense.\u003cbr\u003e It is difficult to destroy Bartley's obscenities and lies.\u003cbr\u003e I object to the ugliness, fabrication,
