Ludwig Wittgenstein on Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments
Hintikka I 249 Interpretation/Symbol/WittgensteinVsInterpretation: "Interpretation of symbols" is misleading instead we call it "use of symbols". >Use, >Symbols. - - - II 46 Plan/Wittgenstein: we cannot put the interpretation into the plan; the rules of interpretation of a plan are not part of the plan itself. >Planning. In science, one can compare one's actions with the construction of a house. In philosophy we do not build a foundation, but clean up a room. II 47 Would it be possible to communicate more directly with "mind reading"? What would we understand by this? Language is not an indirect means of communication that is to be contrasted with "direct" mind reading. Mind reading could only take place through the interpretation of symbols and thus on the same level as language. - - - VI 160 Interpretation: of course, every rule can be interpreted in any way. >Rules. VI 161 Interpretation/Wittgenstein/Schulte: interpreting a rule simply means replacing one rule with another. VI 162 Wittgenstein: a rule must be anchored in practice, not in private, otherwise any interpretation would be possible. >Rule following._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
