| Summary: | The fundamental works, "Tractatus logico-philosophicus" and the "Philosophische Untersuchungen" mark two very distinct periods in the philosophical work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Language analysis is a fundamental preoccupation of the author in his entire philosophical production. For the early W., who implicitly accepts the postulates of analytical philosophy, only the propositions of natural sciences are signifying, whereas those of philosophy have for the main part no meaning. Language is the image of reality, wherefore the field of signifying propositions is limited to those concerned with how the world is. W. is personally sensitive to questions concerning the meaning of the world, of God and ethics; he is even open to the world of "mysticism" at the limit of the world, even if we cannot speak about it with signifying language. In the "Philosophische Untersuchungen" W. broadened his point of view. He does not say anymore that only propositions of the natural sciences have meaning, because he is now also interested in the usage of ordinary language and its relations with "forms of life". However, he still substantially maintains his concept of philosophy as description. He is still silent on the ethical question and the question of the meaning of life, even if at this period he is preoccupied with such questions. We can thus observe not only a difference between two periods in his philosophical production, but also a dichotomy in him between the philosopher and the man. The interest of W. for daily language could have helped him to discover in it propositions concerned with the meta-empirical and considered as signifying. |
