Abstract

Since philosophical problems are the result of our innate psychology, or as Wittgenstein put it, due to the lack of perspicuity of language, they run throughout human discourse and behavior, so there is endless need for philosophical analysis, not only in the ‘human sciences’ of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, politicalscience, psychology, history, literature, religion, etc., but in the ‘hard sciences’ of physics, mathematics, and biology. It is universal to mix the language game questions with the real scientific ones as to what the empirical facts are. Scientism is ever-present and Wittgenstein, arguably the greatest intuitive psychologist of all time, has laid it before us long ago, beginning with the Blue and Brown Books in the early 1930’s. I present 57 quotes from Wittgenstein, Searle and Darwin, which provide insight into philosophy and psychology and which lead to a picture of the logicalstructure of language(thought, intentionality) which is summarized in two tables which result from the analysis of language games and of decision making. I then make some remarks on the tables. These ideas are discussed in greater detail in my other books and papers.
