Does this author use the term "Nonsense" with the same meaning that Wittgenstein famously did when he wrote at the end of his Tractatus that if the reader has understood him correctly, much of the book should be properly recognized as "Nonsense"? raghu
--------- The short answer is no. Robinson was heavily influenced by Wittgenstein, but kept that under some control. Robinson's primary target was, just as he wrote in the title, mystification. Mystification means apparently rational ideas that have no material base. Robinson takes on ideas like infinity, determinism, necessity, individualism and a lot of other classic analytic philosophy problems.
