Abstract(s)
In 1946-47 Wittgenstein delivered his last course of lectures at Cambridge
before his retirement. These lectures and discussions were on philosophy of psychology,
in general, and specifically on experience, language, meaning and understanding. In this
article, the uses of the “meaning-blindness” concept by Wittgenstein in the context of his
work and around these topics are discussed. This article presents a theoretical approach
based on Wittgenstein’s linguistic psychology, assuming the thesis that the linguistic
production affects the ordinary use of language. In this perspective, it is argued the difficulties
revealed by an inter-subjective semantics, with the aim of revealing the semantic
aporias manifested by the “meaning-blindness” concept.
