Public Sticky notes

It is the later Wittgenstein, mostly recognized in the Philosophical Investigations, who took the more revolutionary step in critiquing all of traditional philosophy including its climax in his own early work. The nature of his new philosophy is heralded as anti-systematic through and through, yet still conducive to genuine philosophical understanding of traditional problems.

The later Wittgenstein is a counter example to Whitehead's statement that "All philosophy is a series of footnotes to Plato"
