| Description | One thing I learned from Wittgenstein, in part from the Tractatus, but still more from personal contact, is that philosophical mistakes are often not refutable falsehoods but confusions; similarly the contrary insight cannot be conveyed in proper propositions with a truth-value. I offer as [an] instance of such insights Frege's distinction between concept and object…Such insights cannot be demonstrated as theses, but only conveyed dialectically; the dialectic process largely consists in the art…of reducing to patent nonsense the buried nonsense that is found in attempts to reject these insights. We cannot refute nonsense by a straight-forward logical process; as Frege said, logic cannot deal with nonsense, but only characterise it as being nonsense.$ ^{1}$ Book Name: Post-Analytic Tractatus |
