Apology for Interrupted Service

It is always sad to see a blog where the blogger has run out of steam and this may well be what this site looks like (or even is!?). The truth of the matter is that this site signalled my wish to get back to thinking and writing about things and that has not changed even if my productivity has fallen to zero. In fact, as may have been obvious, I have become very interested in psycho-analysis and I hope that at some point I will get round to writing a good book on Wittgenstein and Freud. There is certainly a lot to be said there, since a lot of what Freud writes is scarily bad from a Wittgensteinian point of view and yet he was very clearly onto something. It would be nice to show Freud fans that Wittgenstein can bring some useful clarity and to show Wittgenstein fans that psychoanalysis is not just an “abominable mess”. Anyway, in the meantime I do not have the time and energy to go back to Wittgenstein in the way I had hoped, so I fear that this post may be it for some time (or even indefinitely). However, hopefully that won’t mean that I have given up thinking about things. And one day if my brain has not gone soggy, I hope I will have something to share
