Las nociones de Sinn y Sprache en Sein und Zeit de Heidegger y en las Philosophische Untersuchungen de Wittgenstein

Abstract

The philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein —without a doubt— constitute the most important and influential theoretical elaborations of the philosophical field of the 20th century and that they remain relevant weight even in this century. The intention of this paper is put both philosophies in dialogue regarding certain categories that are common. In particular, the notions of Sinn (sense) and Sprache (language), but only in two relevant writings by both authors: Sein und Zeit by the so-called Germany’s teacher and Philosophische Untersuchungen by the Viennese philosopher, namely, what is regularly known as "First Heidegger" and "second Wittgenstein". What is intended with this dialogue is to draw certain conclusions about the positions that each one of the authors assumes regarding the aforementioned issues, showing advances, setbacks, reductions or expansions in the treatment of the themes.
