CABANCHIK, Samuel M. Ética y política: dimensiones prácticas de la experiencia del lenguaje en el filosofar wittgensteiniano. Tópicos [online]. 2017, n.33, pp.13-44. ISSN 1666-485X.

As is often the case with the classics, the determination of the dominant orientation of Wittgenstein's philosophy remains a matter of controversy. In this paper, I argue for the recognition of the strategic role of the ethical dimension as a key to the reading of his thought. This key has its center in what we call "the experience of language", a dimension that can be found from the first to the last period of his work. I will argue that Wittgenstein's work as a whole can be read as an investigation on the nature of the experience of language. In the first period, the experience of language is found in the articulation between sense and nonsense. This distinction, articulated with the distinction saying/showing is as a point of support for the ethical act. In the Philosophical Investigations, the experiments that allows analyzing the experience of language are concerned with the phenomena of "seeing as" or "noticing an aspect". Also in this case, the experience of language is linked with the realization of the ethical act, but no longer in a solipsist perspective as in the Tractatus, but in a communitarian way and, in that sense, in a way that is also political, in a broad sense of the word.
