The aim of the course is to analyze the philosophical legacy of Ludwig Wittgenstein in a historical and problematic perspective. The individual philosophical views of Wittgenstein will be analyzed in the context of questions about the relationship that takes place between a proposition and a fact, as well as between a rule and its application.

The aim of the course is to analyze the philosophical legacy of Ludwig Wittgenstein in a historical and problematic perspective. The individual philosophical views of Wittgenstein will be analyzed in the context of questions about the relationship that takes place between a proposition and a fact, as well as between a rule and its application. We will pay attention to the tensions present in the Viennese's thought and to the apories he encountered. The analysis will be carried out in relation to the main currents of interpretation of Wittgenstein's thoughts (Wolniewicz; Baker, Hacker; Kripke; Hintikka, "New Wittgenstein", Soin).
