Paradox and Platitude in Wittgenstein's Philosophy

It focuses on the idea of language as a picture of the world; the phenomenon of linguistic regularity; the famous ‘private language argument’; logical necessity; and ego and the self.
Keywords: language, linguistic regularity, private language argument, logical necessity, ego, self
