Wittgenstein about the Problem of Subjectivity

Abstract

Wittgenstein has thoroughly discussed the issue of subjectivity, especially in the „Tractatus logico-philosophicus“ and in the „Philosophical Investigations“. A special perspective in the course of the analysis of subjectivity arises when the philosophy is considered as therapeutic measure for human subjects. The epistemic success of subjects depends basically on how they deal with the language. Thus, access to the area of intentionality is secured, which is crucial for Wittgenstein´s picture theory. In the context of image theory, the epistemic subject discloses primarily as thinking representational and conscious entity in the world. If the subject is seen and viewed under a certain aspect, hardly a confrontation with the position adopted by metaphysical solipsism is unavoidable.
