Por esta razón, estudiar el derecho a partir de concebirlo como un fenómeno del lenguaje es una posibilidad enriquecedora. Entre otras cuestiones, el análisis del lenguaje que realiza Wittgenstein supone la eliminación de una narrativa “misteriosa” y dotada de una efusividad y emotividad perturbadora, algo así como una “teoría pura del lenguaje” -parafraseando a Kelsen-; es decir, una teoría que permita explicar fenómenos del lenguaje para entender las estructuras del pensamiento a partir del “ver” y el “oír” sin interpretaciones ni misterios. La teoría de Wittgenstein, así concebida, parece reforzar la idea de una necesidad de interpretar, pero a su vez conlleva la exigencia de una hermenéutica rigurosa que, desde el punto de vista analítico, elimine las falacias y misterios de un lenguaje ambiguo.Universidad de Manizales (UManizales): Centro de Investigaciones Socio-Jurídicas de la Facultad de Derecho2010text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3343289(Revista) ISSN 0123-9465Ambiente Jurídico, ISSN 0123-9465, Nº. 12, 2010, pags. 206-228engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
