Wittgenstein’s "Private language" takes important position in Study of philosophy, even inthe later period of philosophy, so it’s paid more attention. The argument contains three aspects:Firstly, language is the expression of awareness, while the awareness includes the feelings isobjective and communal. It means there is no "private feelings", so there is no "private language".Secondly, the rule exists in language-using, however, the rule-making and the rule-following iscommunal, what means there is no private rule-following, so there is no "private language".Thirdly, there should be a "testing criterion", what must be objective and social, to test whetherthere is language game or the game obey the rules. It means the testing criterion should be out ofprivate imagination, so there is no "private language". These arguments could be used tohighlight the sociality and objectivity of the scientific theory. Scientific theories are the objectivereflection of collation, summarize and summary of awareness of the objective reality of theproduct (consciousness). Scientific theories are the language form system according to certainrules; it is the result of the human long-term repeated test of practice. It became the correct anduniversal theory recognized by whole society by the way of dissemination and exchange.
