#LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN THE DUTY OF GENIUS#
IV 1941-51
22 SWANSEA (2)
switching from the philosophy of mathematics to the philosophy of psychology and back again, using the problems in one area as analogies to illustrate points in the other, was something that Wittgenstein had done in his lectures, notebooks and conversations since the early 1930s. Neither was his interest in combating the idea that a private language is possible new in 1944: he had discussed it in his lectures as early as 1932. What is significant about the shift in 1944 is that it was permanent: Wittgenstein never again returned to the attempt to arrange his remarks on mathematics in a publishable form, and he spent the rest of his life arranging, rearranging and revising his thoughts on the philosophy of psychology. Moreover, this seemingly permanent shift came at a time when he seemed most anxious to complete the part of his book dedicated to the philosophy of mathematics.

1944年8月, 他对书稿进行最后调整, 意图在离开斯旺西前定稿, 但是没有完成。
战争就要结束了, 德军节节败退。维特根斯坦对战后的和平完全不看好。
1944年10月, 他离开斯旺西回到了剑桥, 虽然他并不情愿。
