. . . Ludwig Wittgenstein felt that previous philosophers, too, had tied themselves in knots by asking the wrong sorts of questions. They thought that philosophical problems were to do with understanding the nature of the world, but Wittgenstein thought that they were all problems of language. . . .
And jolly old Wiggers of all people should have realized that there is no difference. "Understanding the nature of the world" is a linguistic procedure. "Problems of language" amount to true understanding. No but, what!
