Unlike, say, Bertrand Russell,
who turned to philosophy with
hope of finding certainty where
previously he had felt only doubt,
Wittgenstein was drawn to it by
a compulsive tendency to be struck
by .. questions. Philosophy, one
might say, came to him, not he to
philosophy. Its dilemmas were
experienced by him as unwelcome
intrusions, enigmas, which forced
themselves upon him and held him
captive, unable to get on with
everyday life until he could dis-
pel them with a satisfactory
solution.
