Fantastic! We'll just swap Husserl with Wittgenstein and everyone is happy.

Oh hell no. Later Wittgenstein is basically right about everything; he stays with us.

I think you meant "early Wittgenstein"

 Oh jeez no. I'm a huge fan of Wittgenstein, but the Tractaus is whatever. Hell, I'm a verificationist and I think later Wittgenstein is still better. On Certainty is objectively best Wittgenstein.

Also since when is the Vienna Circle continental? It's the traditional analytic philosophy!

 

I wouldn't abandon later Wittgenstein so quickly but I do agree that early Wittgenstein is better.

 

I've never heard anyone claim this before so I'm curious - why?

Huge congrats to the Princeton admits! Any info you can share? I'm dying and will be perfectly happy to live vicariously through you.

 

Even though I'm lucky enough to have an offer, I'm soooooo depressed I didn't get the email.

 

The email was super short. As in, two sentences.

I am freaking the fuck out right now and one school away from buying everybody in this thread a beer.

Cograts! The way this round of admissions is going for me, though, I might need something stronger than beer...
