According to Wittgenstein's Tractatus, the correct method in philosophy is this: to say only what can be said, i.e. propositions of natural science, i.e. something totally different from philosophy -- and then, when people wanted to say something metaphysical, to show them that they had failed to give a meaning to certain signs in their statements.
