If we judge the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as the basis and outline of the linguisticphilosophy thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein, then the Philosophical Investigation will be arecord on some outstretched philosophical pxplorations. After a deep reflection on his earlylinguistic philosophy thought, Wittgenstein retained the reasonable part of that and shifted thefocus of his study from the searching of an unambiguous artificial language, then made it theusage of daily-language. He found a new conclusion: philosophy problems came from themisuse of daily-language, not the daily-language itself. In this process, Wittgenstein created adynamic and interactive view of language named Language-games, and picked the “privatelanguage”as a sample of liguistic philosophy problem for analysis. Wittgenstein has notfinished the Philosophical Investigation, so it is imperfect. I will give my answer to this, andsome further thinking about the linguistic philosophy thought in Philosophical Investigationin the last part of this thesis.
