Abstract: Culture and value are the essential concerns of these remarks, hitherto available only in German as "Vermischte Bemerkungen." Although the passages date from various periods of Wittgenstein's life, over half were written during his later years, and this edition adds material probably written in 1944. The German text is presented alongside the English translation by Peter Winch, and all entries are presented chronologically, with a subject index for reference.

Incomprehensibility and Understanding: On the Interpretation of Severe Mental Illness
TL;DR: Read and Crary as discussed by the authors argued that the vast majority of the Tractatus only pretends to be making meaningful statements about the nature of logic and semantics; its real purpose is to give the reader the illusion of meaning, and this it does in order to lead the reader to the eventual realization that there can in fact be no meaningful statements or thoughts at the level of self-referential abstraction at which the tractatus pretended to be operating.
