Abstract
Daniel Hutto’s proposal is to compare Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations to Enactive Theory of Mind. In this paper, we try to come back to Hutto’s works on the Tractatus logico-philosophicus . We retain, as Hutto, that there is a strong continuity between early Wittgenstein’s thought and his later conceptions. But we hold that in the Tractatus the more characteristic theses constituting the picture-theory need to receive a greater weight than in Hutto’s reading. Hutto’s insight at any rate will afford in this paper only some hints useful for the development of remarks about the picture-theory that can be considered as independent with regard to their logical and conceptual grounds.
