What if the way we understand the world, express ideas, and even think is shaped by the structure of language itself? Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most revolutionary philosophers of the 20th century, believed that the greatest philosophical problems stemmed from our misunderstandings of language. His work transformed modern philosophy—not once, but twice.
In this video, we explore Wittgenstein’s journey from the rigid logical structures of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the dynamic and contextual insights of Philosophical Investigations. We’ll dive into his groundbreaking concepts, including language games, the limits of language, and the profound implications of his private language argument. You’ll also learn how his ideas have shaped fields like ethics, political discourse, artificial intelligence, and linguistics, while addressing criticisms of his work, such as concerns about relativism and ambiguity.
Whether you’re a philosophy enthusiast or new to Wittgenstein’s ideas, this video offers an accessible yet thought-provoking introduction to the philosopher who reshaped how we think about language and meaning.
