Philosophy: Elucidation or theorization? About Wittgensteinian perspectives. Languaje meaning and action

Abstract

This text is a critical review of the sections of the book Wittgensteinian Perspectives. Language meaning and action (2021), based on the vision of the philosophy contained in the researches of Ludwig Wittgenstein, for whom any attempt of theorizing constitutes a useless attempt to escape from a quagmire. Therefore, the responsibility of the philosophy lies in the clarification, through the analysis of language, of the conceptual chimeras that it has created. The issues of the infeasibility of color theory in logical terms, the non-epistemic character of hinge propositions and religious beliefs, objectivity as a criterion within a system of rules, the vagueness of language and the pragmatic turn are addressed.
