Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Anthropological Experience in the Picture of the World

Abstract

The purpose of the essay is to trace the origins of the concept "worldview" and the role of L. Wittgenstein in its emergence in connection with the problem of anthropological experience in rational cognition. It was revealed that L. Wittgenstein was the first to introduce the concept of "worldview" and put forward the idea of the identity of the logical structure of language to the ontological logic of the world, which allows us to rationalize empirical, observable facts related to human existence and experience in simple logical statements. In a number of thought systems, such as art, ethics and metaphysics, language sometimes reveals meaninglessness, since it concerns the description of unobservable (irrational) facts, therefore it is better to remain silent here (before the very fact of the possible "meaninglessness of language").
