Wittgenstein e o antipsicologismo: leitura crítica do tractatus logico-philosophicus

Abstract

The paper discusses the anti-psychologism of the "first" Wittgenstein, whose main work was the famous Tractatus Logico-philosophicus (1921). After a historical and conceptual explanation of anti-psychologism, this paper shows a synthesis of the ontological-linguistic theory of Tractatus and investigates anti-psychologism through some texts such as the Notebooks and a letter by Wittgenstein. It concludes that, despite creating the conditions of a philosophical subjectivism (which appears in the concept of "philosophical ego" and "metaphysical subject"), Wittgenstein's thought can be situated among those whose tradition restricts empirical psychology as referred to normative disciplines.
