No, he argues that philosophy is meaningless, shuts up, and then writes an entire new book plus leaves behind many books of notes.

This version was the one we used for class. Very interesting if you're into late W.

Thank you. For people looking to learn more, read "The Blue and Brown Books" by Ludwig Wittgenstein tl;dr (of his book) Wittgenstein believes that our discussions of life and philosophy are pointless/meaningless until we understand the tools we're actually using (e.g. language) and what those tools' limitations are and whether we can actually find real existing things that correlate to the representations within language (i.e. our tools).
