Wittgenstein su metafisica e forme di vita

The essay is organized into two parts. The first part illustrates those that seem to be , accordin to Wittgenstein, the three tendencies or the three fundamental attitudes that are at the origin of what he (sometimes) calls "metaphysics": "our craving for generality", the dogmatic attitude, and the tendency towards sublimation. The second part suggests that Wittgenstein's call to accept the form(s) of life (or the facts of living) as what is given to us should be understood as a maxim of method aimed a counteracting the tendencies of metaphysics with an "antireductionist" spirit.
