Ludwig Wittgenstein

1889–1951

Pierwsze przybliżeniecelowe uproszczenie – portret mówi więcej

Według wczesnego Wittgensteina język przedstawia świat, a to, czego nie da się przedstawić, trzeba pominąć milczeniem; według późnego w wielu przypadkach znaczenie słowa to sposób, w jaki się go używa.

„Granice mojego języka oznaczają granice mojego świata.” Później: w dużej klasie przypadków znaczeniem słowa jest jego użycie w języku.

Stanowisko

The early Wittgenstein asked what language must be like to be able to depict the world at all. His answer in the Tractatus: a meaningful sentence is a logical picture of a possible state of affairs; ethics, aesthetics and the meaning of life cannot be said but only shown – “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.” The later Wittgenstein broke with this picture. Words, he now held, have no hidden essence; their meaning is their use in many interwoven “language games,” connected by family resemblances rather than a common core. Philosophical problems arise when language “goes on holiday.” Both phases shaped the twentieth century: the first logical empiricism, the second ordinary language philosophy and beyond.

Życie i kontekst

Wittgenstein grew up in one of Vienna’s richest industrial families, studied engineering in Berlin and Manchester and came to Bertrand Russell in Cambridge in 1911. He finished the Tractatus as a soldier in the First World War, then gave away his fortune and taught at village schools in Lower Austria, where he hit pupils – corporal punishment was still widespread in village schools, but parents complained about his severity; after a pupil collapsed in April 1926 he resigned, proceedings before the district court in Gloggnitz followed (their outcome is unclear in the sources), and in 1936–37 he apologised to former pupils. In 1929 he returned to Cambridge, where he later held a chair until 1947.
