How do we learn, use, and understand the meaning of words
representing sensations? How is the connection between words and
sensations structured? How can outward signs of sensations be
manifested? What does it mean "to understand someone"? Is semantics
affected by inner states? What does one mean when one uses an
expression to describe a sensation? How should such success in
communication be defined?Grammar, Expressiveness, and
Inter-subjective Meanings: Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Psychology
deals with these questions, examining the peculiar uses of
language-games representing sensations (such as "thinking", "seeing
such-and-such", and "I'm in pain") and exploring outer references
to inner states.Externalising something internal gives expression
to the psychological experience. As such, an expression should be
understood as a sophisticated form of exteriorising experiences.
This book clarifies the use of sense-expressions and the praxis of
"bringing to expression" as an inter-subjective meaning process.
The central focus of the book entails both the outwardness of
language and the inwardness of experience, as was intensively
remarked by Wittgenstein's last writings (namely his lectures from
1946-47, exclusively and remarkably concerning the philosophy of
psychology), which were recently published and which, despite their
importance and originality, are still little known.
