How, according to Wittgenstein, are traditional philosophical debates best understood and resolved?
Ludwig Wittgenstein was a philosopher hailing from Austria. He supported the concept of language games proposed by postmodernists. He had a rich background. His father was the second richest man of Europe.
Other than supporting postmodernists, Wittgenstein explained philosophical debates and ways to resolve those debates as well. He came out with a resolving solution for disputes taking place among renowned philosophers and psychologists. He said these disputes can be easily resolved by understanding the various philosophical and psychological paradigms, reflecting their own language trends or more specifically the language games.
The philosophy and psychology of language is better explained by the province of linguists like the Wittgenstein’s colleague from Cambridge, C.K. Ogden or Gilbert Ryle. Ryle is very famous for his application of human reasoning and the demarcation between the knowing how and knowing that.
He and Wittgenstein both correlated usage of language with disputes in philosophy. While resolving the issues, Wittgenstein also explained the importance and role of philosophy. He defined philosophy as a battle fought against the bewitchment of our intelligence, with language as your armor.
