Also Russell: "I have not found in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations anything that seemed to me interesting"


I'm not sure what your point is. The quote is from My Philosophical Development, and the chapter it's from, Some Replies to Criticism, is worth a read.

There's a whole other chapter on Wittgenstein, The Impact of Wittgenstein.

My point is that "He is trapped in a peculiar anglo-pseudo-rationalist view and cannot see out of it" seems like a valid criticism that has nothing to do with Nietzsche's opinions of other philosophers.
