Based on the philosophy of Kant and Wittgenstein's early study of philosophy between the "two worlds " theory were compared and studied.First, the paper from one of the oldest philosophical word "logos", we recognize that man is a rational animal who can not live without language. However, it is because people are rational people to speak, eventually leading to the metaphysical nature of man. In the long history of philosophy, people create a package of all kinds of metaphysical systems, which guide the people's pursuit, but also to make mankind into confusion and fog. In such a rational understanding of human-driven process, some by non-rational, intuitive, understanding the type of non-"logocentric" approach to the so-called metaphysical directly to the real world, this time, but also Metaphysical confusion does not exist problem. However, the most notable feature is the reason, although the language of reason and sometimes as some people say they have not fully grasp the essence of the world, people still have to rely on reason to walk, whether now or in the future. Reason is not all-powerful, but indispensable.Second, the rationalist (relative to the irrationalism) of Kant and Wittgenstein were early methods used to troubleshoot the delimitation of philosophical problems, by giving the demarcation of reason and language to determine which people can understand the knowledge, which Is that people can not understand some of the non-experience. By comparison, we find that:If we put aside the label head of the two philosophers, both historical aside, the two things are done a certain extent, problems of Hume's successor-the facts and values separately, and even the ancient Greek philosopher Plato is also the "two worlds" of inheritance. Both are a priori way to examine the use of reason, language itself, and then rational delimitation of the language to themselves and the world, and all the transition from epistemology to metaphysics (ethics).Finally, Kant and Wittgenstein in addressing ethical issues early on are not the same way, although they all reported the highest respect of metaphysics. They advocate a concept of absolutist ethics, beyond the experience of relativism in the world of ethics. Wittgenstein on the transcendental world to maintain the complete silence, because it can not be expressed through language, it is not in fact within the world; and Kant by introducing the "freedom" to move beyond the experience of the inevitability of the world, so that ethics Achieved through practical reason. Issues of fact and value is one of the most basic philosophy, not human does not find the right path to link the two, but because they did not belong to the same area. However, it is not satisfied with the fact that living in a world without ultimate concern, so people have been in a difficult quest, the key is to maintain a certain tension between the two, and the new pragmatism, for us, after all, a revelation.
