1Some thoughts on Wittgenstein and language

      I'm a biologist. I'm interested in how the human brain makes human
      language behavior possible. I think Wittgenstein made an important
      discovery by constructing the Tractatus and then realizing the
      limitations of that approach. My interest in his later philosophy is
      described here:

      I'm interested in the idea that we should be able to create man-made
      devices that can display human-like language behavior. I hope to
      continue exploring this idea in this discussion group and at the
      language wiki:
