Abstract:
The Theory of Language Games is the key notion of Ludwig Wittgenstein''s latter philosophy. This theory has been crafted against The Picture Theory of Language as the core of Wittgenstein’s Tractarian vision. According to The Picture Theory of Language، Language has merely one function: picturing reality. We can grasp the truth of World through grasping the truth of Language. Indeed، this latter theory is a representative of a Modern view of language. On the contrary، according to The Theory of Language Games، Language is a Multidimensional phenomenon; hence، we could never understand it from an Essentialist point of view. Indeed، Language consists of a body of different Language Games: Linguistic Functions. Each of such language games is connected with a special Form of Life. Thus conceived، understanding a language game essentially implies understanding the very Form of Life within which the language game occurs. The Theory of Language Games is a Postmodern Philosophical Standpoint of Language. And، in this article، our main goal is to analyze different aspects of this latter remark.
