Here the first, crippled, part again


Michael,

In: Heidegger and modern philosophy / ed. Michael Murray. (Yale Univ.
Press, 1978), I found:

Ryle read BT closely, because of its breaking with Cartesian theory, and
published a critical appreciation in Mind in 1929. 

Wittgenstein, 1929: "I can readily think what Heidegger means by Being and
Dread. Man has the impulse to run up against the limits of language. Think,
for example of the astonishment that anything exists. This astonishment
cannot be expressed in the form of a question, and there is also no answer
to it.  Everything which we feel like saying can, a priori, only be nonsense. 
[...]  Yet the tendency represented by the running-up against POINTS TO 
SOMETHING. St. Augustine already knew this when he said: What, you 
wretch, so you want to avoid talking nonsense? Talk some nonsense, 
it makes no difference!" (p. 80/81)
