The Harmony between Language and Reality
From the Tractatus to the Big Typescript
Keywords:
language, reality, logic, application, harmonyAbstract
My aim in this paper is to reconstruct the two mutually excluding forms in which Wittgenstein developed his idea of an essential link between language and reality. In the first case, both logic and the idea of pictoricity are central, whereas in the second case it’s rather the notions of grammar and applicability (use) of signs which become decisive. The first approach presupposes a purely formal conception of language, whereas the second can only be assumed within the framework of a praxiological conception of language, that is, a conception which centers round the notion of language-game.
