What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Wittgenstein mainly as a figure of formal logic and the analytic school, which he links to logical neopositivism1 and to positivism [10, 11]. He takes up his distinction between natural language and formalized language2. He also cites his logical vocabulary of the predicate3 and presents him as Russell's friend4. Discussing the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, he sets this formal logic against the Hegelian logos5. He notes that his disciples believe in something other than natural language6. He paraphrases the formula that one should say everything that can be said and keep silent about what one cannot speak of7. He counts him among the non-Marxists for whom he has immense respect8. He specifies that he is not a neo-fascist, but that analytic empiricism leaves the field open to what it does not think9.
