ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

International Wittgenstein Symposium

So, imagine you love to play with Legos. And let's say there are other kids who also love Legos, but they live in other faraway countries.

Now imagine that one day, all of you decide to meet up in one place to talk about Legos and share ideas. This meeting is called a symposium.

The International Wittgenstein Symposium is just like that, but instead of Legos, it's about talking and thinking about a guy named Ludwig Wittgenstein, who was a very smart philosopher.

People from all over the world who are interested in Wittgenstein's ideas come together to listen to talks, ask questions, and share their thoughts. They might talk about things like how language works, how we think about things, and what meaning really means.

It's a fun way for people who love philosophy to learn from each other and get excited about ideas. Just like how when you and your friends get together to play with Legos, you all have fun and make cool things together.
