Abstract(s)

The aim of this paper is to take into account possible answers to the following questions raised by the reading of Wittgenstein’s remarks on the philosophy of psychology: how is the connection between public signs (e.g. ordinary words) and mental images established? In other words: why does a mental image have a certain meaning or refer to a given content? This topic supposes the linguistic expression and rests mostly on the general relation between subjectivity and privacy of experience and the public nature of language.
