Wittgenstein's Philosophy

Wittgenstein's philosophy emphasizes how language shapes our understanding of the world. He argued that the meaning of words comes from their use in everyday situations, rather than from abstract definitions. This perspective, part of Ordinary Language Philosophy, suggests that many philosophical problems arise from misunderstandings about language. By examining how we actually speak and communicate, Wittgenstein sought to dissolve confusion in philosophy, showing that clarity emerges when we pay attention to the ordinary ways we use words. His work invites us to reflect on the complexities of meaning in our daily lives.
