The Relationship between Soul and Body in Wittgenstein’s Late Philosophical Investigation

Abstrakt

The article is an attempt toward a reconstruction Wittgenstein’s solution of psychophysical problem. According to authoress, Wittgenstein rejects traditional dualistic conception of man as composed of soul and body, and he perceived the human as a psycho-physic whole. Knowledge about such a whole is a primary knowledge, and it is embedded in our reactions toward phenomena like sorrow, anger, joy, etc. According to this analysis, the soulbody distinction is to be seen as a secondary corollary resulting from the interpretation of experience.
