Question
The author would agree with which of the following statements regarding Wittgenstein?
Options:
A .  He was buzzing around inside a fly bottle
B .  He was an anti-representationalist who created pseudo problems
C .  He was against representationism and  so he ignored realism and idealism
D .  He did not want questions to be asked regarding his creation "Tractatus”
Answer: Option C
:
C
Option (a) is junk. He was literally not buzzing inside a fly bottle. This was a metaphorical statement.
Option (b) is pretty close. Look at these lines in the last paragraph.
“They think that these efforts generate the sort of pseudoproblems which Wittgenstein hoped to avoid by abandoning the picture”.
So he hoped to avoid pseudo problems. He may not have been successful. But he did not create pseudo problems.
Option (d) is also junk.
So the only right option is option (c).
