Sažetak
In his later work, Philosophical Investigations (PI), Wittgenstein argues against a possibility of private language. Nonetheless, in his earlier work, Tractatus Logico–Philosophicus (TLP), there are some remarks about its possible, especially in (1961: 5.62): “The world is my world: this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand) mean the limits of my world.” The concept of “language which alone I understand” is connected to solipsism, or the impossibility to understand other people’s way of seeing the world. The argument is as follows: the world is my world because only I have the perception of objects, relations, etc. in the way that I have. Every other person has different perception from mine. Everything in the world can be expressed by language (“A proposition is a picture of reality. A proposition is a model of the reality as we imagine it.” TLP 1961: 4.01.). Therefore, as I have my own picture of reality, which I express by language, I have a language that only I can entirely understand. In this talk, a possible concept of private language argument in TLP will be analyzed, as well as its possible origin and interpretations. Further, it would be connected to Wittgenstein’s argument against the existence of private language in PI.
