"Si Tacuisses Philosophys Mansisses" is generally attributed to Boethius, not Wittgenstein.
- Maursault 4y agoLook at the last two lines in this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein#1920–1928:_Teaching,_the_Tractatus,_Haus_Wittgenstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein#1920–1928:... Wittgenstein was referring to clarity, that anything that can be said can be stated clearly, and short of that, one can not speak. Boethius was saying something different, apparently revealing his loss of respect for someone by what they had said. Boethius was engaging in ad hominem, Wittgenstein in logic. Hope you see the difference.
