Abstract

GOTTSCHALK, Cristiane Maria Cornelia. A Reflection on the Linguistic Sense Towards a Wittgensteinian Inspired Pedagogy. Educ. Real. [online]. 2020, vol.45, n.3, e106761.  Epub Oct 21, 2020. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236106761.

Based on Wittgenstein’s reflections about language, we seek to transpose some of his therapeutic affirmations into the field of education, in particular those about the relations between knowing how to do (practical knowledge), and knowing about rules (theoretical knowledge). His philosophical considerations, in my view, allow us to clarify, not only the concept of ‘following rules’ as the foundation of meaningful action and of thinking, but also the role played by the different techniques evolved within the procedures adopted by teachers so that the student learns the contents of their disciplines, thus pointing to a pedagogy that does not proclaim how the teacher should act, but, above all, what to avoid.

Keywords : Philosophical Therapy; Wittgenstein; Language-Game; Following rules; Meaning.
