De fenômeno para conceito: a "Virada Mental" em Wittgenstein

Abstract

In 1953 - two years after Ludwig Wittgenstein's death - was published the work Philosophical Investigations, a text that will become the mark not only for a late moment of the Viennese writer's thought, but also for a whole historical event in the philosophy that became known as "pragmatic turn". In this work, Wittgenstein approach many philosophical themes from a new analysis perspective - of language and its multiple contexts of use -, which enabled a reinterpretation of many questions, among them the ones that referred to "mind" and all the discursive consequences of the way that we conceive such philosophical entity. Through the Investigations analysis, some parts of others late texts and further materials, we will try in this monograph to trace a development line of how were approached the reflections about the "mind" concept in Wittgenstein's later philosophy, as well as theorize about the new perspectives that this new way to treat the "internal world" discourse can bequeath us.
