Ludwig Wittgenstein expresses a distinctive viewpoint about the nature of thought and originality in his work "Treaty Logic-Philosophical." He emphasizes that he does not concern himself with whether his ideas have previously been conceived by others. This notion suggests a focus on the content and meaning of thoughts rather than on their novelty or attribution to a source.
This approach challenges conventional beliefs regarding intellectual ownership and the importance of citation. By prioritizing the value of the ideas themselves, Wittgenstein invites readers to engage with the underlying concepts and implications, rather than getting caught up in the complexities of authorship and originality.
