Come si gioca ai gochi linguistici?

2014

This paper aims to rethink some features of Wittgenstein’s thought, examining in particular the notion of “language-game.” A discussion of this notion is a way of rethinking the role played by context in linguistic processes. It is a role that cannot be understood if we do not focus on the topic for which the “language game” is played. In particular some characteristics of “language game” will be examined: topicality, broader normativity and multimodality. These characteristics will be applied to some actual “language games” like the standingman of Istanbul.

Language Game: calculus or Pragmatic act?

2013

The authors have tried to make the potentiality inherent in the concept of the linguistic game evident by taking it back to its original context in the work of Wittgenstein. This paper aims to re-examine some features of Wittgenstein’s thought, considering in particular the notion of ‘language-game’. The authors believe that the language-game might play a role in overcoming once and for all the classic distinction between semantics and pragmatics. We deal with the exegetical discussion of the notion ‘language-game’ as it was interpreted in two different senses: as a synonym of calculus or as a minimal unit of linguistic activity that is directed to obtaining certain pragmatic effects in a s…

Itsetuntemus, ekspressivismi ja Wittgenstein

2017

Tämä artikkeli esittelee ekspressivististä itsetuntemuksen (self-knowledge) teoriaa erityyppisten itsetuntemuksen teorioiden kontekstissa. Artikkelin viimekätinen tavoite on arvioida erityisesti ekspressivistisen teorian suhdetta Wittgensteinin mielenfilosofiaan, joka usein mainitaan teorian lähteenä, ja tarkastella teorian kehitystarpeita ja -mahdollisuuksia muiden itsetuntemuksen teorioiden valossa. Osassa 1 esitetään eräitä käsitteellisiä selvennyksiä. Osa 2 käsittelee itsetuntemuksen (omia mentaalisia tiloja koskevan tiedon) oletettuja filosofisesti kiinnostavia erityispiirteitä, joiden ymmärtäminen on itsetuntemuksen teorioiden arvioimisen kannalta olennaista. Osa 3 esittää itsetuntemu…

Espressione, soggettività ed interiorità. Uno studio grammaticale delle ultime opere di Wittgenstein.

Wittgenstein, Turing, and Neural Networks

2018

The main task of this paper is grounding the socio-anthropological “naturalization” of meaning operated by the later Wittgenstein in his remarks on rule-following in the Philosophical Investigations in considerations relating to models of low-level (biological) processes of imitation, training, and learning. If the operation suggested above is successful, two of its immediate consequences are that the social aspect of language can no longer be considered as a primitive notion, but needs to be placed upon, if not reduced to, a biological foundation; and that the study of thought, and, actually, of certain brain processes, becomes prior in the order of explanation to the study of language. Th…

Wittgenstein come etnografo del pensare

2017

Wittgenstein è stato giustamente considerato un grande filosofo, annoverato tra quegli studiosi del Novecento che hanno prodotto un pensiero innovativo nel campo del linguaggio. Nel mio saggio, proprio per meglio mettere in evidenza la forza agentiva del suo pensiero ‘in atto e situato’, prendo le distanze da un’impostazione disciplinare univoca, concentrandomi soprattutto sulle Ricerche Filosofiche in quanto testo risultante da un modo di ‘pensare autoriale’ non lineare, non generalizzato, non essenzialistico: un pensare, quello di Wittgenstein, messo dunque concretamente in forma attraverso strategie operative, sistemi figurativi e insiemi combinati di metafore concettuali, da mettere opp…

Interpretación : radical y cultural

1999

La interpretación es una operación que aplicamos a una gran variedad de dominios. Interpretamos las proferencias de nuestros interlocutores, las acciones de nuestros congéneres, un texto legado por la historia, una obra de arte o una práctica ritual. Esta enumeración de fenómenos susceptibles de interpretación no pretende ser exhaustiva. Pero permite ver tres dimensiones de la interpretación que nos interesa subrayar: la lingüística, la psicológica y la cultural. Se trata, por lo demás, de tres dimensiones no carentes de relación. Pues la interpretación de las proferencias lingüísticas de alguien nos permite atribuirle ciertas creencias y en principio podemos ver en sus creencias, en la med…

Una explicación no tranquilizará al enamorado

1993

Wittgenstein criticó tanto la posición explícitamente etnocéntrica del creyente cristiano cuanto el racionalismo dogmático del positivismo, mostró connivencias entre ambas posiciones, y señaló que desde ellas se pierde no sólo la capacidad de captar la especificidad de las creencias rituales sino también la posibilidad de concebir al hombre como algo más que mera razón científico instrumental. Defiende que la forma científica de conocimiento no es comparativamente oponible -como cosas que tienen comunidad de género- a las creencias rituales. Para ello muestro, en primer lugar, que las creencias religiosas cristianas, desde el punto de vista de su lógica, no difieren de las mágicas propias d…
