Abstract

According to the main thesis of this article, in order to articulate the scope and interest of Wittgenstein’s family resemblances topic, we should see into it not an answer to the question what concepts in general are, but a methodological proposal. Two questions guide the central part of the text: (1) What does “family - resemblances concepts” mean? (2) What concepts fall within the corresponding class? Regarding (1) I try to show that “family - resemblances concepts” is not an unequivocal term: a first sense has to do with the dictum of “similarities overlapping and criss - crossing” (IF 67) and is to be distinguished from a second sense associated with the topic of “blurred edges” (IF 71). This distinction lies behind the answer I offer to (2): in the first sense of the term, there is no family concept at all, while according to the second sense all concepts are of this kind. In the final part I propose a reinterpretation of the issue from a methodological perspective. To say that concepts like language, understanding, thinking, etc. are family concepts means that the philosophical reflection on them should not centre on the praxis of looking for definitions. As important ― maybe more important ― as that it’s the careful description of paradigmatic examples, as “centers of variation” (EPB 190).
家庭相似:维特根斯坦思想的内容和意义
根据本文的主要论点,为了阐明维特根斯坦家族相似性主题的范围和兴趣,我们不应该把它看作是对一般概念是什么问题的回答,而是一个方法论建议。两个问题引导着文本的中心部分:(1)“家庭相似性概念”是什么意思?(2) 哪些概念属于相应的类别?关于(1),我试图表明“家族相似性概念”并不是一个明确的术语:第一种意义与“相似性重叠和交叉”的格言有关(IF 67),并与与“模糊边缘”主题相关的第二种意义区分开来(IF 71)。这种区别在于我对(2)的回答:在这个词的第一种意义上,根本没有家庭概念,而根据第二种意义,所有概念都是这种概念。在最后一部分,我建议从方法论的角度重新解释这个问题。说语言、理解、思维等概念是家族概念,意味着对它们的哲学反思不应该集中在寻找定义的实践上。同样重要——也许更重要——是对作为“变异中心”的典型例子的仔细描述(EPB 190)。

期刊介绍: VERITAS, Revista de Filosofía y Teología fue fundada en 1994 por el Pontificio Seminario Mayor San Rafael de Valparaíso (Chile). A partir del año 2017 es una publicación cuatrimestral (Abril, Agosto y Diciembre). El idioma habitual de la revista es el español, aunque queda abierta la posibilidad para publicar artículos en otros idiomas, tales como inglés, francés, italiano o portugués. VERITAS tiene como objetivo difundir entre los académicos y estudiantes del seminario, así como también de otras instituciones eclesiásticas y universitarias, nacionales y extranjeras, el resultado de la investigación en las áreas de la Filosofía y la Teología. Así, y desde su talante católico, pretende llevar a cabo una contribución de actualidad y rigor científico que promueva la reflexión y el debate abierto en la vida académica.
