ABSTRACT
In his Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein has his own way of registering his dissatisfaction with metaphysics. The therapy he recommends for this peculiar pathology is communicated with simple force: ‘Don’t think, but look.’9 This, however, it is much easier to say than to practice. Be this as it may, I am quite
sure that in life itself, and not only in metaphysics, thoughtful looking is exceedingly uncommon. And it might well be argued, in fact, that such comportment is becoming increasingly infrequent as enframing takes control of our world.
