Wittgenstein, huh? In an introduction to one of Wittgenstein's books, Bertrand Russell notes the influence of projective geometry on Wittgenstein - saying something to the effect that Wittgenstein applied projective geometry concepts to linguistics. Getting past Russell's introduction and into Wittgenstein writing itself, I pretty much get nowhere. It is a case where I would need to be taught - get some guidance from someone who has broken through. Or perhaps I don't have the background in philosophical ideas and history, to understand the context of Wittgenstein's thought. Maybe a break-out session on Wittgenstein at PyCon ;) Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
