The influences about the mistic of Wittgenstein: basic factors of the ethical and aesthetic tractarian content

fatores basilares do teor ético e estético tractariano

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the main influences of the ethical-aesthetic-metaphysical content that depicted the first Wittgenstein; who transitions from a logical-mathematical concern and critic of the language to a transcendental content in the last aphorisms of the Tractarus Logical-Philosophicus. This leap from the mathematical-logical to the ethical-aesthetic-metaphysical will be justified by the contact of the philosopher with important names, of which stands out, Otto Weininger, Schopenhauer and Tolstoy. In addition to the readings made by the Austrian philosopher, is necessary to point out his inner torments as central elements in the unfolding of the theme of ineffability; reflections that culminate in the theme of the appreciation of what is essential and that cannot be said (sagen), but experienced, in a pursuit by the meaning of life and overcoming of fateful reality. It will be demonstrated, therefore, how these interferences, in their different manifestations, the sensitivity to the personal historical and internal context become means of expression of the ineffable in Wittgenstein's life and, likewise, as is indispensable in the rescue of the human essence, often overshadowed by the exacerbated rationalization of modern and contemporary scientism.
