WITTGENSTEIN’S LESSONS OF AESTHETICS

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Wittgenstein’s thoughts about aesthetics. The focus is laid on his lectures of 1938, where he develops a new notion of aesthetics. We calls it the ‘aesthetics of the linguistic turn’. The area of such an aesthetics is the linguistic use of the word ‘beautiful’ in all possible situations. The article inves tigates different levels of this use and also discusses Wittgenstein’s – who had a certain artistic praxis – thoughts about real aesthetic activities. The central items of this discussion are originality and geniality.
