Algumas Observações sobre as Vermischte Bermerkungen

Abstract

This essay intends to show that the Vermischte Bermerkungen do not occupy a secondary position in Wittgenstein's opus. Rather, they constitute (do not excluding the remarks on culture, art and religion) an essential key to an understanding the logical or grammatical nucleus of his philosophy. They may also reveal something of a profound continuity of the thought or work of Wittgenstein, beyond the notorious transformations or different phases of or in his conception of language. The essentialy indirect character of the language and work of philosophy - of somewhere in between prose and poetry - may well be at the heart of Wittgenstein's thought throughout his writings, and if so would be indispensable for an understanding of the transformations they suffered.
