The problem that I intend to address is: what is the explanatory scheme under which Wittgenstein realizes the nature of meaning and understanding? I will assume that the problem formulation presupposes a dual discourse structure: something-sign, the mind that has no particular meaning -the property, the sympathetically reaches have it. By virtue of what this change occur? How is it that the sign acquires meaning and the mind come to understand?

Wittgenstein and the classical tradition

The thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein maintains a complex relationship with the philosophical tradition. This book is an important contribution to the clarification of it. Some of the tests that compose delve into Wittgenstein's relationship with thinkers who read and no doubt influenced their approach as Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Mauthner, Weininger ... Other contrasts his thought with classics like Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant ...
So maybe I can help the reader understand what the Viennese philosopher wrote about himself: "If my name survives only be as the terminus ad quem of the Great Western philosophy. Like, so to speak, that the name of the one who burned the Library of Alexandria ".
