From tractatus logico-philosophicus to philosophical investigations and the theory of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s language-games

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish the difference between the first and second Wittgenstein in terms of the theoretical transformations given in the transition from the Tractatus to the Philosophical Investigations. The concept of “Language-Games” is exhibited to be of key importance in this transformation. The impossibility of the private language and the insertion of the language in the sociality are, therefore, derived from the line of argument.
