Abstract :
In early Wittgenstein view, philosophic, aesthetic, ethical, religious,logical statements are nonsense because language is propositional andits statements are pictorial. Meaningful statements (language) is, only,factual statement (speech based on facts), in late Wittgenstein, incontrast factual statements (speech based on facts) are only a kind ofmeaningful statements (a dialect). Language is, essentially, a social anduniversal phenomenon not private one. Gadamer, also, argues that was(or is) never private. It doesn’t belong to individuals, but vice versa, theindividuals belong to it. Here it is intended to demonstrate similaritybetween two philosophers in detial.
