Abstract

The paper is intended to investigate the distinction between saying end showing, which Wittgenstein describes as his "main contention", indeed "the cardinal problem of philosophy". The author tries to explain the role of this distinction in the Tractatus as well as its evolution in Wittgenstein's last writings, where the same problematic distinction recurs in defining the relationship between language and praxis.
