The world of logic, as in ”the domain of logic”, since this was his primary ”qualification”.

@alex: 10x for your comment; there are lots of people, to my knowledge, believing that science can give you the answers to all the big questions (including questions about god, life after death, the meaning of life a.s.o.);

I think Dawkins is a good example in this sense. Wittgenstein, otoh, took an entirely different path. In this respect his view is similar to the views of other “traditional philosophers”.

He diverges from them, however, when to “science cannot answer these questions” he adds: “and neither can philosophy” (this is still a blunt way of putting it, but I want to avoid spoilers ).

@krossfire: “the world of logic”!? What was that again!? The only worlds of logic are possible worlds (according to the standard semantics for modal logic). I don’t think W influenced any of those.

If I were the author of the article I would have started with : Wittgenstein, my favourite philosopher : Althoguh isolated and thought to be gay, Wittgenstein influenced the world of logic and philosophy with his claims. One of his greatest achievements was realising that philosophy is generally nonsense

I was reading today on wired.com the 42 of the biggest questions in science: “How did life begin? What’s the universe made of? Why do we sleep?”

Even if we can find the answers to the biggest questions in science, this will only satisfy our curiosity. I sincerely doubt that an answer to “What’s the universe made of?” can tell us more about the meaning of our lives in this universe.

However, what if we ask ourselves about god, about our soul and about our death? These questions or the answers to them can change the way we see the world.

As I understand from this post the way we tried to answer “the big questions of life” was wrong. I am looking forward to see an alternate view.
