フロイトの精神分析から考察されるヴィトゲンシュタインの治療的哲学

Abstract

The later Wittgenstein's philosophy is often characterized as therapeutic. According to the idea of therapeutic philosophy, Wittgenstein never intends to propound a theory of philosophy; rather he attempts to show us that philosophical problems are merely pseudo-problems generated by philosophical confusions. The aim of this paper is to clarify what Wittgenstein's therapeutic philosophy is. In order to do so, I shall investigate the methodological similarities between Wittgenstein and Freud. I attempt to show that the analysis of Freud's method of psychoanalysis gives us various insights on what Wittgenstein's therapeutic philosophy is.
