Considering a language like “The whole world in fact and not as a thing” where every subset and everything relates to meanings as Wittgenstein suggests, it is rooted in the human Life form. Wittgenstein came on stage with the same nature of “ zeitgeist ” in the world where language formed the epitome of ‘essence and existence’ of life as he would say. The status of Wittgenstein in the philosophical world is the same as that of (his compatriot) Kurt Gödel in Mathematics who with the same iconoclastic quest literally shook the permanent nature of “reason and evidence” with his “Theorem of Incompleteness “. With Einstein, Freud and Heidegger (his contemporaries) coming of age with a sort of terrible child A character shaping and redefining the thought of human understanding and the universe, Wittgenstein has joined the league in launching a new wave of philosophy centered on âlanguageâ.
These are major contributions to the philosophy of logic and language of the twentieth century. He published two important books: ‘Tractatus Logico Philosophicus’ (1921) and “ Philosophical inquiries ” (posthumously 1953), for which he is best recognized. Wittgenstein had a profound influence not only on language but also on conversations in logic and metaphysics, in ethics and on how we should live in the world. He was born on Apin Vienna, Austria, into a well-to-do family, well known in Viennese scholarly circles. Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century.
