Resumo: | In The Principles of Mechanics, physicist Heinrich Hertz argues that instead of replying to the question “what is force?” like physicists and philosophers had been doing unsuccessfully, Newtonian physics should be reformulated without considering “force” a basic concept. Decades after Hertz’s book, Ludwig Wittgenstein considered the physicist’s proposal a perfect model for how philosophical problems should be solved, to the point that he made it the foundation of his way of doing philosophy. This article addresses Wittgenstein’s way of doing philosophy, while it also proposes the reason why he failed in solving the philosophical problems — as did Hertz in his project on reformulating Newtonian physics without considering the concept “force”. And to illustrate Wittgenstein’s failure, it examines his disputes with mathematicians Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing on the foundations of mathematics. |

Remarks on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Whole aim in his way of doing PhilosophyObservações sobre a meta final do modo de fazer filosofia de Ludwig WittgensteinIn The Principles of Mechanics, physicist Heinrich Hertz argues that instead of replying to the question “what is force?” like physicists and philosophers had been doing unsuccessfully, Newtonian physics should be reformulated without considering “force” a basic concept. Decades after Hertz’s book, Ludwig Wittgenstein considered the physicist’s proposal a perfect model for how philosophical problems should be solved, to the point that he made it the foundation of his way of doing philosophy.

Décadas depois da publicação do livro de Hertz, o filósofo Ludwig Wittgenstein consideraria essa proposta um modelo perfeito de como resolver problemas filosóficos, a ponto de tomá-la como base de seu modo de fazer filosofia. Neste artigo, discute-se não apenas o modo de fazer filosofia de Wittgenstein, mas também por que ele falhou em seu intento de resolver os problemas filosóficos – assim como Hertz havia falhado em seu projeto de reformular a física newtoniana sem usar o conceito de “força”.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2018-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1808-1711.2018v22n3p41110.5007/1808-1711.2018v22n3p411Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 22 No. 3 (2018); 411-438Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 22 Núm. 3 (2018); 411-438Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 22 n. 3 (2018); 411-4381808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
