Sessizlik Arayışı. Bir Wittgenstein Okuması

EXTENDED ABSTRACT

This article aims to provide a narrative about Wittgenstein's view of today's social and political life; rather than being an effort to objectify his thoughts. To objectify a philosopher's thinking is to memorize and to repeat it, which means that thinking consists of the history of philosophy. Wittgenstein's philosophy demands silence in the face of the noise of illusions where the meanings of the sentences are not worried about and there is no concern about the content of what is said. His philosophy, which he defines as an activity, opposes the reduction of philosophy to a doctrine consisting of a plurality of "seductive" sentences, in our current situation where everything can be said and everything is said.

A philosophy that has turned into a caricature of itself, and the mass of noises that make up it, de mands confirmation of its incomprehensibility from those who "don't understand" it. It is, in this manner, a prisoner of what it "despises. " This captivity is hidden behind the arrogance of incomprehensibility and the dignity bestowed upon it by those who "don't understand" it The arogance that speaks behind the walls of incomprehensibility is, in fact, the reason for this captivity: because it is not what it claims to be, that is, philosophy is no longer "philosophy.

To be content with the imitation of thinking instead of thinking itself is the main problem of today's intellectual atmosphere. In the face of those arrogant repetitions of imitations of old concepts, thinking requires insignificance: there is an urgent need for seclusion to remember the essence of thinking; but not a show of seclusion. Thinking as an act is in need of recovering itself from being the plurality of unaccountable sentences.

According to Wittgenstein, man's most important issue is himself; not what is happening "outside". For the philosopher, the search for silence and tranquility beyond the ongoing noise and blur in the landscape dominated by externality is a priority. Indeed, the problems caused by the external are always secondary; the main thing is the self, internality that makes it possible to "confront the world in peace ". Therefore, Wittgenstein is far from the "understanding" concerns peculiar to externality, where "visibility" matters. These concerns are ordinary practices of externality.

In today's situation that Wittgenstein looks at, the point that philosophy has reached as a doctrine is the plurality of seductive sentences and the noise created by this plurality, which is concerned with fascinating its interlocutor. The thing that ensures the continuity of this noise is an understanding of philosophy that consists of transferring and memorizing certain ideas. Thinking, for today, is to convey; is to repeat old philosophical sayings. A philosophical doctrine and education that takes refuge in
