Summary/Abstract: The present paper represents an attempt to illustrate a unique style of thought to be found in the later writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein. The discussion focuses on the remarks made in Philosophical Investigations on the idea of a private language, and is restricted to those passages in which the Austrian thinker shows the overrated role of introspection in determining the meaning of psychological concepts. By examining Wittgenstein’s philosophical practice, I will try to point out that a private language is shown to be an illusion not on the basis of some argument or thesis, but only in virtue of a series of grammatical remarks meant to describe the way in which certain expressions are used in different language games and, at the same time, to throw light on some of the sources of philosophical confusions and misunderstandings in general.
