Main Article Content

Oscar Orlando Espinel Bernal

Abstract

This article aims to examine in detail the distinction made by Wittgenstein between the explanation and description of different ways to approach dissimilar subjects of study. This distinction was mae in the Philosophical Investigations. From this difference, it is possible to explain the concept and the method that the author suggests for the action purely philosophically. For example, grammatical research exercised on concepts and conceptual confusions in comparison with the generalizing trends that scientism aims to universalize.
