Abstract

SUBJECT AS THE INNER POLE OF THE SYMBOL.ANTI-MENTALISTIC INTERPRETATION OF WITTGENSTEIN’S TRACTATUSSummaryThe purpose of this paper is to offer a radical anti-mentalistic interpretation ofWittgensteinʼs Tractatus. Contrary to mentalistic approaches postulating that thetask of projection must be performed by a subject (transcendental or psychological),the author claims – after Rhees, Diamond and McGinn – that the projection itselfis an intrinsic relation within the symbol. The main point of the paper is the thesis that the transcendenal subjectivity – or, as Wittgenstein calls it, the metaphysicalsubject – is the inner pole of the symbol, and since the meaning of the symbol isitʼs other inner pole (as anti-realist interpretations point out), the whole intentionalrelation of symbolizing is intrinsic to the symbolism.
