Bourgeois Thinkers

Wittgenstein:

"Ramsey was a bourgeois thinker. I.e. he thought with the aim of clearing up the affairs of some particular community. He did not reflect upon the essence of the state - or at least he did not like doing so - but on how this state might reasonably be organized. The idea that this state might not be the only possible one partly disquieted him and partly bored him."
