LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN: LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURES OF LIFE
Abstract
Wittgenstein's views have been considered from different perspectives: from the standpoint of logic, philosophy, methodology of science, theory of mind and, finally, from the standpoint of religion, mysticism and myth. However, they are not so often considered from the perspective of natural sciences. Wittgenstein distinguishes between a name and a word. The name is on the surface, while the word affects emotions, penetrating into life. How deep does it penetrate into reality? This issue can be approached from two sides from the linguistic point of view and from the perspective of life. Wittgenstein considers the first approach, but in this paper the second one is discussed as well. For this purpose, the authors make an analytical review of the current concepts of the clinical "therapist-patient" interaction within the "psychotherapeutic framework" in terms of the symmetry of the psychological types. They also consider the modern information model of the cell and mechanisms of information transfer within cellular structures. The study applies the methods of geometrization of logical structures and the topological comparison of structures. The authors show that concept of isomorphism raises the question of the genetic unity of the structures of language and life.
