A lot of what Wittgenstein discussed involved the development of language, the logic involved in our brain processing data and what is and what is not possible using language. My main point was the "was is not possible in language". Mathematics, to me, is man's attempt at organization using the most precise and accurate symbology (language) possible. A lot of metaphysical ideas do not lend themselves to mathematical symbols and, as Helm stated, should remain separate for the benefit of both. Mathematics serves a purpose in that it can precisely solve mathematical thereoms/problems in a "step by step" dogmatic, surgical manner but this is, to me, is very sterile and fails to take into account the beauty of the whole composition like the arts do. I'm babbling again, sorry. I'll have to think about this to clarify my point better.
