The main lines of interpretation that have been proposed see dialogue as a rhetorical technique intended to present erroneous positions and then refute them, as an exemplification of what can be expressed in language (McGinn 1997; Rhees 1998), or as a reflection of Wittgenstein’s informal teaching method (Malcolm 2001; Savickey et al. 1990). The present article adopts the perspective that Wittgenstein’s use of dialogue makes it possible to track the various modes of language-acts, consonant with his directions to examine the daily use of language (Wittgenstein 2009, §116 and esp. §132), “when language is, as it were, idling.” In his later inquiries, Wittgenstein frequently considers the nature of mental states, accompanied by an attempt to characterize the differences between them while at the same time dealing with the cases in which it is difficult to distinguish them. In this process he made a variety of uses of dialogue, each of which embodies a different aspect of language action. Subsequently I will demonstrate that these different uses are not haphazard. A scrutiny of the nature of the dialogue can help us understand the nature of the activity carried out of the state of consciousness. Finally, I propose a distinction among three main types of dialogue: technical, conversational, and reflexive. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Key Words: technical dialogue; conversational dialogue; reflexive dialogue |  |\n\nDorit Lemberger (Ph.

The first part of Wittgenstein’s magnum opus, Philosophical Investigations 1 , is written as a dialogue (Wittgenstein was not responsible for the format of the second part; see n. 1) . In the introduction to the fourth edition, the editors stressed the need for a new translation that would adjust the grammar and syntax to coincide with the conversational tone.2 In practice, as early as his Vienna Circle period Wittgenstein employed a dialogical and conversational method (Wittgenstein 2003), marked by questions and answers and the use of dialogical terminology such as “aspect” and “game,” as will be discussed below.  \nHis disciples edited others of his works, too, as conversations that reflect how Wittgenstein taught and interacted with them.3 Because dialogue is a form both of writing and of oral instruction, a separate discussion, going beyond what has been carried out thus far, about the relationship between the dialogical nature of writing and teaching, on the one hand, and the content , on the other—that is, the ways in which language works—seems to be in order.4 Although much has been written about Wittgenstein ’s philosophical language, his choice of the dialogue method is perceived as a rhetorical technique to persuade us of the correctness of a certain position, as an exemplification of what can be said in language , or as a way to dispel perplexities and illusions.5  \nSuch uses certainly exist, and will be presented below; in the current article I wish to show that Wittgenstein’s method goes beyond the forms noted above and reflects the philosophical change of direction he worked in the study of language. This revolution is based on the assertion that “essence is expressed by grammar” (Wittgenstein 2009, §3","cbCaikWpKXDpED45","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikWpKXDpED45","pdf",692736,16,"English","# Introduction\n## Dialogical method in Philosophical Investigations\n## Dialogue as dialogical grammar","[{\"question\":\"How does the article describe Wittgenstein’s use of dialogue in Philosophical Investigations?\",\"answer\":\"It presents dialogue as a way to track modes of language-acts connected to Wittgenstein’s instruction to examine everyday language when it is, “as it were, idling.”\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article argue about earlier interpretations of Wittgenstein’s dialogue?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that prior literature often treats dialogue as rhetorical technique, exemplification of expressible content, or reflection of an informal teaching method, but the article claims Wittgenstein’s method goes beyond these forms.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the three main types of dialogue proposed?\",\"answer\":\"The article proposes a distinction among three types: technical, conversational, and reflexive dialogue.\"}]","Dialogical Grammar: Varieties of Dialogue in Wittgenstein’s Methodology | PDF",1792091368]
