Summary: The importance of Wittgenstein’s thought lies on the idea that he proposes a revelation of truth from a kind of skepticism that leads to a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the situations of life through the study of language. For this reason, studying Law, see it as a phenomenon of language is an enriching opportunity. Among other issues, the analysis of language that Wittgenstein makes involves the removal of a narrative “mysterious” and endowed with a heartiness and disturbing emotion, something like a “pure theory of language”, to paraphrase Kelsen, that means a theory that accounts of language phenomena for understanding the structures of thought from “seeing” and “hear” without interpretation or mysteries. Wittgenstein’s theory, so conceived, appears to reinforce the idea of a need to interpret, but in turn leads to the requirement of a rigorous hermeneutics, from the analytical point of view, delete the fallacies and mysteries of ambiguous language.
