Rorty shows us Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and Dewey, telling us that original philosophy is dead and only edifying philosophy remains.
But did wittgenstein really say that?
As far as I know, the only source Rorty come up with Wittgenstein dropping original philosopy is Philosophical Investigations 133.

Here is PI 133.
>For the clarity that we are aiming at is indeed complete clarity. But this simply means that the philosophical problems should completely disappear.
>The real discovery is the one that enables me to break off philosophizing when I want to. a The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself in question. a Instead, a method is now demonstrated by examples, and the series of examples can be broken off. —– Problems are solved (difficulties eliminated), not a single problem.

Wittgenstein is saying something really hard to understand.
He wants a complete solution to a philosophical problem, but he says it's not a solution to the SINGLE problem.
Actually, that fragment is explained in his book Zettel.
Here's Zettel 447;

>Disquiet in philosophy might be said to arise from looking at philosophy wrongly, seeing it wrong, namely as if it were divided into (infinite) longitudinal strips instead of into (finite) cross strips. This inversion in our conception produces the greatest difficulty. So we try as it were to grasp the unlimited strips and complain that it cannot be done piecemeal. To be sure it cannot, if by a piece one means an infinite longitudinal strip. But it may well be done, if one means a cross-strip.—But in that case we never get to the end of our work!—Of course not, for it has no end. (We want to replace wild conjectures and explanations by quiet weighing of linguistic facts.)

His sense of philosophical resolution is evident here. It's clear that there is some grand solution, but it has an INFINITE PROBLEM, like moving from infinite columns to infinite rows, that can't be solved in a single step.

Rorty completely misunderstood Wittgenstein.

The same would be true of Heidegger. His very word edification comes from Heidegger's apostle Gadamer's word "Bildung", and this word accompanies the entire history of German Geisteswissenschaft.

Recommend me some short doomer /lit/.
It must be short, less than 300 pages.
