| Abstract | ||||
| This study attempts to reveal Ludwig Wittgenstein's position (1889-1951) on aesthetic issues in general and aesthetic judgment in particular. The study is based on the hypothesis that there is a fundamental difference between the early stance of Wittgenstein towards aesthetic judgments and issues as expressed in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) and his late stance, which was expressed in his lectures on the aesthetics he delivered in 1938, which came in light of his new position on language and logic as his work discloses Late Philosophical Investigations. The main question that the study discusses and seeks to address can be formulated as follows: What are the consequences of Wittgenstein's position in both cases regarding the field of aesthetics? The study relies on the analytical method in analyzing Wittgenstein's main texts to extract his positions, in addition to the critical and comparative approach. | ||||
