Wittgenstein’s Early Views on the World and Existence: A Review Sukanta Mondal, State-Aided College Teacher, Mankar College, Mankar, Purba Bardhaman, West Bengal, India. | |
In this paper, I have tried to explain the views of Wittgenstein about the world and reality. Wittgenstein was a great analytic philosopher as well as linguistic philosopher. He, like other analytic philosophers, thinks that the function of language is to explain the world. According to him, the main cause of arising the philosophical problems is misunderstanding of language. For this reason, in the book of Tractatus-logico-philosophicus, Wittgenstein says that, to understand the language properly it is necessary to analyze the nature of both world and language. To explain the nature of the world, he says that, the world is totality of facts, not of things. According to him, a fact is the existence of states of affairs or atomic fact. So, the world is the totality of existing atomic facts. However, Wittgenstein says that, atomic fact or states of affairs are two types: existing atomic fact and non-existing atomic fact. The reality is formed by these two types of atomic fact. So, the world is different from the reality. In this connection, I have tried to explain the relation between world and reality, as followed by the Wittgenstein’s interpreters. | |
