Juegos de lenguaje y teoria critica. Sobre la recepción de Wittgenstein en el pensamiento de Albrecht Wellmer

Abstract

This paper sketch out an account of Albrecht Wellmer's reception of the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. What Albrecht Wellmer looks for in Wittgenstein is the possibility to answer the problem of the theoretical place of the criticism and the skills to argue with Adorno's messianic utopianism and Jürgen Habermas and Karl Otto Apel's idealizations and formalisms. Thereby the paper will show that Wittgenstein's philosophical-linguistic criticism enables Wellmer to recover the mundane ground for a skeptical critical theory of any foundationalisms.
