Part II? Well, Chris, we have taken a fairly long break from our investigations of the Investigations. Perhaps it is time to start up again. I was moved by the description of your friend Larry DeCamp & of the philosopher's life. Poetry & philosophy are sometimes said to be at war with each other, but from another viewpoint, I think that both poetry & philosophy are about justice. Not in the narrow sense of "the justice system," though that's part of it--justice, rather, as akin to temperament in music: an adjustment toward the human & particular, away from the abstract.

So, if you'll put something in this space re: Wittgenstein, I will respond & we can try to build some momentum.
