Manifesto for Philosophy Quotes

“Modern sophists are those who, in the footsteps of the great Wittgenstein, maintain that thought is held to the following alternative: either effects of discourse, language games , or the silent indication, the pure "showing" of that which is subtracted from the clutches of language. Sophists are those for whom the fundamental opposition is not between 'truth and error, or errancy, but between speech and silence, that is , between what can be said and what is impossible to say. Or again: between propositions endowed with sense and others devoid of it.”
― Alain Badiou, Manifesto for Philosophy
