[MD] [Tuukka] the object of philosophy

[X Acto]

Tuukka,
 I am truly sorry for mispelling your name. You are the first Tuukka I've ever met.
I thought you would benefit from these quotes.
 
Wittgenstein in his tractatus logico:
"The object of philosophy is the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a theory but an activity. 
A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. The result of philosophy is not a number of 
`philosophical propositions,' but to make propositions clear. Philosophy should make clear and delimit 
sharply the thoughts which otherwise are, as it were, opaque and blurred''.
 
"The essential business of language is to assert or deny facts. Given the syntax of language, the meaning of 
a sentence is determined as soon as the meaning of the component words is known. In order that a certain 
sentence should assert a certain fact there must, however the language may be constructed, be something in 
common between the structure of the sentence and the structure of the fact. This is perhaps the most 
fundamental thesis of Mr Wittgenstein's theory. That which has to be in common between the sentence and 
the fact cannot, he contends, be itself in turn said in language. It can, in his phraseology, only be shown, not said, 
for whatever we may say will still need to have the same structure." 
-Bertram Russel (foreword)
