Conclusion
1. The one instance in which Wittgenstein appears to have found some happiness in his pursuit of being ordinary was during his time as a porter at Guy’s Hospital in 1941–1942. Even then, however, he was soon drawn back to more cerebral pursuits, and he moved to Newcastle in 1943 to take part in a medical research project on “wound shock” and then back to Cambridge and philosophy in 1944.
