The relentless honesty of Ludwig Wittgenstein

A lot of popular writing on Wittgenstein focuses on his personality, which for sure is fascinating in and of itself, but this piece focuses on his thought. Mind you that I've personally only read the Tractacus and a few odd pieces now and there and Ray Monk's fabulous biography of him, The Duty of the Genius, but not Philosophical Investigations itself which is central to this piece. Nevertheless it seemed valid to me. Another article touching on the same kind of themes is Monk's piece for Prospect Magazine about the scourge known as scientism and how Wittgenstein was opposed to it. It's an easier and a shorter read and somewhat more "woke", if you will, as this present article is somewhat more theoretical.
