Abstract

Abstract: This article discusses the attribution of objectivity to subjective psychological expressions in Wittgenstein's philosophy, considering the logical status of the mental in his work. To this end, a brief comment is made on the philosopher's biographical data and essential concepts such as the mental, language play and meaning are presented. Then, the concept of the experience of meaning is explored, approaching related concepts. Next, it examines how Wittgenstein establishes the objectivity of subjective expressions. Finally, it concludes with a reflection on the idiosyncrasies of Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology and its impacts on the ontological understanding of the human being and his mental life.

Keywords: Wittgenstein. Philosophy of psychology. Mental. Language. Meaning.
