Abstract

YUAN, MARÍA SOL. ABOUT THE NOTION OF INTERPRETATION IN LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN'S "SEEING-AS". Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, n.179, pp.161-180.  Epub Aug 11, 2022. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v71n179.102685.

The "seeing-as" cases, presented by Wittgenstein in the Second Part of Philosophical Investigations, show that the concept of 'seeing' is close to that of 'interpretation' and resists its separation. This article proposes an argument to clarify the notion of 'interpretation' present in these cases, from its comparison with the uses present in the Tractatus and in the First Part of Philosophical Investigations. It is argued that this notion fulfills the role of determining the sense of the visually experienced. In addition, 'to see' and 'to interpret' maintain a type of internal relationship and 'seeing-as' can be considered an "elastic representation".

Keywords : interpretation; aspect perception; seeing-as; Wittgenstein.
