Well. Wittgenstein's a prominent 20th century thinking in educational philosophies and views the primary concern of philosophy to not be deontological debate, but to help us work out the confusion that arises when enter into those analyses. He sees philosophy as ultimately therapeutic, but obviously misses a lot of nuance and underestimates how we can use philosophy as a tool to reveal ethical truths about the universe. But I could see the scientists using him as a guidepost to sort of cut through the chaff of diverging hypotheses about human nature?
Or it's a common name.
There was also a computer called Wittgenstein in this American film series, the Brave Little Toaster.
