The limits of language in the later Wittgenstein
(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Uzunova, Boryana
ln this text I will argue that language according to the later Wittgenstein has no limits and that this is not a self-contradicting claim. First, I'll try to show how can the notion of duality of the boundary of the language game function as a key to allowing language to have no limits and at the same time to work. Then i will proceed to showing how the concept of meaninglessness can be a valid one - a view Wittgenstein shares - without this putting ali mit on language. After that I'll tum to the language- activity relation and try to show it as not only not limiting language but really as something of a guarantee for its unlimitedness. And fınally, I'll say something about the possibility of speaking about language without this implying that we are limiting it.
