“… 26 26 In both cases the German word is Kraftfeld . Barbara Neymeyr highlights this similarity between Musil and Adorno, focusing on its implication of dynamic constellations (Neymeyr, 2009, 56). The dynamic and the holistic aspect are connected and may have entered Musil’s thinking through Wolfgang Köhler's Gestalt ‐theoretical considerations (see Bonacchi, 1998).…”

Essayism as a form of writing and a form of life

As Wittgenstein still eludes classification as either an analytic or a poetic philosopher, this article considers his work under the perspective of essayism as a hybrid intellectual attitude that combines elements from both modes of thinking. Drawing on Adorno’s and Musil’s accounts, I present four characteristics of essayism that can be applied to Wittgenstein’s writing: (a) essayism does not claim access to primal knowledge or an absolute starting point of thought, but typically reacts to given ideas; (b) it is systematic insofar as it is concerned with words, things, and events in systemic contexts rather than in isolation; (c) it is anti‐systematic insofar as it neither accepts the given conceptual system nor strives for an ultimate system in which all things are in their place and all problems ultimately solved; (d) it is aware of, and emphasizes, the mediatedness of its objects and warns of any equation of the conceptual ordering with the order of reality. As a consequence, essayism goes beyond a particular text form, but concerns an attitude towards the world that manifests itself in various forms. It thus turns out to be not merely a form of writing but ultimately a form of life.
