Quotes by Georg Henrik von Wright  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

He was of the opinion... that his ideas were generally misunderstood and distorted even by those who professed to be his disciples. He doubted he would be better understood in the future. He once said he felt as though he were writing for people who would think in a different way, breathe a different air of life, from that of present-day men.

{Von Wright on his tutor, the great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein}”
