Resumo: | From a conception of philosophy that breaks with the philosophical tradition, Wittgenstein presents a human being perspective that surpasses the classic dichotomy between body and soul, legacy by Modernity, when thinking of it as an integrated whole, a psychophysical unit. This understanding is possible thanks to the understanding of philosophy as an activity and not as a theory. At first, the philosopher understood that this activity was limited to the logical analysis of language; however, considering the insufficient approach to dissolve philosophical problems, he gradually adopts the grammatical analysis of ordinary language, which turns to the uses of linguistic expressions, in order to identify the rules that guide the use of words with meaning. And so, attentive to linguistic practices, he understands that the human being is not divided into parts, but, on the contrary, that body and soul constitute a single reality. What is internal to the subject (the soul) becomes visible through the external (the body) from its behavior in the world, and this is how the human being can be understood according to Wittgenstein. Considering that the Wittgensteinian conception of human being is an offshoot of his concept of philosophy, the article first presents the development of his understanding of philosophy to then detail the concept of human being that constitutes and is understood through the language itself. |

Esse entendimento é possível graças à compreensão de filosofia como atividade, e não como teoria. Em um primeiro momento, o filósofo compreendeu que essa atividade se resumia à análise lógica da linguagem; contudo, considerando a abordagem insuficiente para dissolver os problemas filosóficos, gradualmente passa a adotar a análise gramatical da linguagem ordinária, que se volta aos usos das expressões linguísticas, a fim de identificar as regras que orientam o uso das palavras com significado. E assim, atento às práticas linguísticas, entende que o ser humano não se encontra dividido em partes, mas, ao contrário, que corpo e alma constituem uma única realidade. O que é interno ao sujeito (a alma), torna-se visível pelo externo (o corpo) a partir de seu comportamento no mundo, e é assim que o ser humano pode ser compreendido segundo Wittgenstein. Considerando que a concepção wittgensteiniana de ser humano é desdobramento do seu conceito de filosofia, o artigo apresenta, primeiramente, o desenvolvimento da sua compreensão de filosofia para, em seguida, detalhar o conceito de ser humano que se constitui e se faz entender por meio da própria linguagem.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/240510.31977/grirfi.v21i3.2405Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 3 (2021); 174-1882178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2405/1480Copyright (c) 2021 Marcelo Ferreira Ribashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibas, Marcelo Ferreira2021-10-28T13:44:46Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2405Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-10-28T13:44:46Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |

From a conception of philosophy that breaks with the philosophical tradition, Wittgenstein presents a human being perspective that surpasses the classic dichotomy between body and soul, legacy by Modernity, when thinking of it as an integrated whole, a psychophysical unit. This understanding is possible thanks to the understanding of philosophy as an activity and not as a theory. At first, the philosopher understood that this activity was limited to the logical analysis of language; however, considering the insufficient approach to dissolve philosophical problems, he gradually adopts the grammatical analysis of ordinary language, which turns to the uses of linguistic expressions, in order to identify the rules that guide the use of words with meaning. And so, attentive to linguistic practices, he understands that the human being is not divided into parts, but, on the contrary, that body and soul constitute a single reality. What is internal to the subject (the soul) becomes visible through the external (the body) from its behavior in the world, and this is how the human being can be understood according to Wittgenstein. Considering that the Wittgensteinian conception of human being is an offshoot of his concept of philosophy, the article first presents the development of his understanding of philosophy to then detail the concept of human being that constitutes and is understood through the language itself. |
