But Wittgenstein, I think, saw things from a different perspective than me and many others. It is life, not philosophy itself that may be the problem. Philosophy is therapy, but curing the wounds of life, not injuries from some sort of metaphysical activity. Wittgenstein's friend Francis Skinner was advised by Wittgenstein to quit his career in mathematics and philosophy and instead work at a factory in Cambridge. Conclusion What Wittgenstein did not see, or at least did not say explicitly in his works, was that developing novel and original perspectives, violating the ordinary rules of language, transcending the immanent, is therapy.
Ordinary life is difficult and writing and philosophy are two solutions.
