Secondly it is very contentious to say that all philosophical problem
are linguistic in nature. The inability of analytic philosophers to
eliminate metaphysic and ethical problem one and for all shows how
problematic this issue is.
Thirdly, it is difficult to test the
soundness of Wittgenstein’s case because he does not argued in the
conventional sense. He does not set out to defend a thesis, but to
reduce our confusion through the clarification of language that is to
show the fly the way out of the fly bottle,2 but as Iroegbu Argues ,
clarification is not the function of philosophy . philosophizing
involves analysis , synthesis, clarification, interpretation, comparism,
historicism etc to analyse and clarification of language is of great
disservice to man.
Finally , wittgenstein’s observation as we are
going to see soon, leave a strong sense of doubt that a private language
is possible , useful or even conceivable. This runs counter to our
everyday experience that one can establish a connection between a word
or sign and sensation . one problem that arises from the private nature
of his definition is that it is impossible to tell whether one has
remembered the connection correctly 3
1.3 Scope of Study
This work
in scope, shall be limited to an insight into Wittgenstein’s two
language theories and their over all meaning in resolving philosophical
puzzles . however insights into other theories of language in their
clarification nature shall also be treated or discussed here. This I
think shall enable me evaluable objectively Wittgenstein theories.
1.4 Significance of the Theories
This
work is significant because it would create an avenue for easy grasping
of the concept of language. During the course of study , issues related
to language and its usefulness would be treated. It would enable us to
understand the fact that every language has its meaning within its own
context. Ludwig Wittgenstein in his later philosophy, no longer that
meaning of language is fixed as his earlier conception portrays it to
be, he now conceived language as part of human life and activity as
such, should be examined in that setting with all its complexities of
forms and function.4
It would also be of great advantages to the
metaphysics, linguistics philosophy and logicians for language has been
an unsolvable puzzle before the time of the analytic philosophers.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This essay is a critical study of Ludwig Wittgenstein Language theory. Before we give a through explanation of the entire “essay,†an introduction is being made where the language is going to be linked to philosophy, and not just philosophy, but how also it concerns the linguistic value of our everyday conception of ideas.In introducing the topic we start by giving an overview of the language, that is philosophy of language, thereafter there will be a cross section of the main topic, ...
