we make ourselves pictures of facts
Sep. 10th, 2009 09:05 amThe syntactic ambiguity of that translation of Wittgenstein has just struck me after all these years. Which would explain why there is a difference of opinion as to whether it is the more awkward but less ambiguous "we make to ourselves pictures of facts."
I prefer the idea that we make ourselves pictures of facts. I like being a picture of a fact.
Looking for a photograph by Alisa Lewis that I realized had a certain kinship with a photograph by someone much referenced recently on this blog, I came across, not the photograph, but my lecture citing it. I had no idea I used to be such an articulate fellow:

I have the uneasy feeling that in spite of showing up in a Google search, the URL as found doesn't link to the pdf. We'll see.
