Your philosopher is Ludwig Wittgenstein (April 26, 1889 – April 29, 1951), an Austrian philosopher who contributed several groundbreaking works to modern philosophy, primarily on the foundations of logic and the philosophy of language. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. When faced with a problem, your first reaction is to analyze it, to work through the details and try to find the underlying cause. You are not one to be influenced by dogma or theology, yet you know that the world is more complex than most people think - the world is, indeed, more than the sum of its parts. Even logic and reason themselves come under your steely gaze, and you are likely to think that all knowledge is contingent - we believe what we believe because it allows us to get along with others, but there's usually a different reality lurking just beneath the surface (one that you understand and others merely guess about). |
