Hans-johann Glock - When asked what jazz was, Louis Armstrong replied "If you had to ask, you'd never know". Is there something - a limitation of language - that challenges our attempts to express in words what it is? This is the question that Wittgenstein brought a group of scholars to Helsinki to discuss logic, grammar, linguistic structure, relativism, thought and the nature of consciousness, with the aim of clarifying what Wittgenstein meant in terms of the notion of limit. What. Of language Can we use language to break out of language - a question explored by Bill Child's keynote speaker? Or is our vision limited or conditioned by the grammar of our language, even if that grammar is created by us? Or, as Hans-Johan Glock argued in his keynote address, is the idea of inexplicable conscious states (of humans) an object of the new mysticism, to be demolished by proper conceptual analysis?
The notion of limit is of Kantian origin. For Kant, the goal of philosophical inquiry was to determine the necessary and limiting conditions for various kinds of judgments. As early as the 1960s, Finn Erik Steinius asserted that something similar was happening in Wittgenstein's early work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. According to Steinius, first Wittgenstein aimed to show that logical form is a necessary condition for the possibility of language and therefore cannot express itself through linguistic means. Like a jazz piece that exhibits its form, the propositions of language – which themselves say something about the world – simply exhibit the form that makes it possible to say. Thus, writes Wittgenstein, "logic pervades the world: the limits of the world are also its limits" (TLP 5.61). For Stannius, this did not mean that the philosopher could not reflect on the limits of language from within, only that no point of view from outside would present itself. Nevertheless, this view leaves open how exactly we are expected to understand the relationship between language and the world, a question addressed by Colin Johnson's Wittgenstein article on representation and possibility. And what about the subject of language - the first 'I' of Wittgenstein's 'I think' or the subsequent 'we' of 'this is what we do' - notions that are fully explored in writings by Jacob Gomulka, Adrian Haddock and Is the way checked by Constantin Sandys?

In Wittgenstein's later works, the question of the limits of language is linked to the possibility of justifying the application of a language rule by conceptual means. This question has already been posed by Childe's keynote, suggesting that norms of language can be seen as superseding the non-normative facts of our practices. Additional insight into the matter was offered by articles that placed Wittgenstein's views in a wider context, linking it to the position of Carnap and Moore, discussed by Leila Haparanta, Suki Finn and Yrsa Neumann, as well as Along with the contemporary debate on relativism, addressed by. Gurpreet Ratan. Possible candidates for incommensurability in Wittgenstein's thought, namely aesthetics, ethics and religion, have received attention in papers by Willy van der Merwe and Tony Pessina as well as in papers by Eran Gutter, who offered a new assessment of the role of music in Wittgenstein's thought. called upon to do. , Philosophical development. If understanding language is like understanding musical thought, what lesson should we learn? Did Louis Armstrong agree with Wittgenstein, who said about aesthetics: "A solution should speak for itself. If when I've shown you what I see, you don't like it, there's an end" (M 9, 31).
