| Summary: | The paper deals with Wittgenstein’s early philosophy and discusses the issue of the relation between the necessary tools used within logic and theology. I argue that Wittgenstein’s standpoint requires the use of showing and seeing as a methodological tools. In the paper I define controversial and non-controversial types of utterance and show that Wittgenstein always uses the same tool to overcome the controversial way of speaking. In the paper, I show that Wittgenstein aestheticises logic and theology by shifting the burden of proof of the necessary features of language and the examined object, from controversial quasi-linguistic utterances to an aesthetically satisfying means of expression. |
