Findlay on Wittgenstein:
>At the age of 40 he looked like a youth of 20, with a godlike beauty, always an important feature at Cambridge. The God received him and gave him lunch in an ascetic room, beautiful in its almost total emptiness, where a wooden bowl of fruit on a table made one note of color. The God was all he had been described as being: he looked like Apollo who had bounded into life out of his own statue, or perhaps like the Norse God Baldur, blue-eyed and fair haired, with a beauty that had nothing sensual about it, but simply breathed the four Greek cardinal virtues, to which was added a very exquisite kindness and graciousness that bathed one like remote, slightly wintry sunshine… The tea that one drank with him tasted like nectar.
Gay!

Findlay is utterly, completely based.
Also he ended up deciding Wittgenstein was a schizoid and crypto-solipsist, but thought his philosophy was still good because since he was wrong about everything, you could believe the opposite.
Parker Young
so he gave him the weininger treatment.

Evan Young
God I cannot stand the academic obsession with Wittgenstein. I don't know why people can't see he was just autistic.
Ryder Flores
Whats his philosophy?
Sebastian Evans
>mystical metaphysics
Sounds like a hack to me

When your father is the richest man in Austria you can literally just show up at Oxford and yell at people until you're heralded as a genius and revered for decades. Much of philosophy is nebulous enough to boil down to a game of animalistic dominance dressed up in Latin phrases.
Nicholas Bell
Very gay
Dominic Moore
My philosophy professors always refer to it

Bruh this can't be real

> In the Gifford lectures, Findlay reintroduced the absolute that he had foresworn in his essay on God. He now conceded publicly that the monotheists were right to have an absolute, but wrong in the absolute they chose. “How odd/of God/to choose/the Hindoos”, says the preface to The Transcendence of the Cave.

This is what happens when you stop at Plotinus and don't continue to work your way up to Eriugena.
Jacob Reyes
I'm not sure why you would say that, Eriugena comes remarkably close to Vedanta, in some cases even closer than Plotinus, in any case Findlay appears to have drawn from and agreed with both Hindu thought and Neoplatonism

interdasting. didn't Wittgenstein say the exact same thing about Otto Weininger?
Christian Gray
Why Eriguena?
