Importance of the Language and the Philosophical Method in the Later Wittgenstein

Abstract

The  article  answers  the  question Why  does  language  matter  in  philosophy?Formulated more than forty years ago by the Canadian philosopher Ian Hacking. In doing so, part of the new   conception   of   the   philosophical   method   developed   by   Wittgenstein   in   his Philosophical  Investigations.  The  aim  is  to  show  that  language  matters  to  philosophy, above  all,  as  the natural  environment in  which  human  beings  act  and  move  habitually. From  this  condition,  and  from  comparing  the  philosophical uses of  language  to  primitive linguistic and nonlinguistic actions-from which they derive -a style of action emerges that dissolves the pseudo problems of traditional philosophy.
