I don't think I agree with the author of this TIMES article. I think a philosopher deep down inside definitely wants to be right over read.

Isn't that the point he was trying to make? Most philosophers want to be read over and over. Wittgenstein was less concerned with his legacy of writings (only the Tractatus was published during his lifetime, and that was little more than his journal) and more concerned with solving problems.
