Otto Weininger: Kritische Editionen

“It is true that he is fantastic but he is great & fantastic. It isn't necessary or rather not possible to agree with him but the greatness lies in that with which we disagree. It is his enormous mistake which is great. I.e. roughly speaking if you just add a "~" to the whole book it says an important truth."

Ludwig Wittgenstein on Weininger in a letter to G. E. Moore, August 23, 1931

Database Language: German
