%0 Journal Article %T Comprensi¨®n: Filosof¨ªa Tradicional versus Pensamiento Wittgensteiniano %A Tomasini Bassols %A Alejandro %J Revista de Filosof¨ªa %D 2006 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X in this essay a contrast is drawn between the traditional way of facing and dealing with philosophical puzzles with the rather dissolving wittgensteinian approach. a particular case of difficulties from the area of the philosophy of mind is considered, namely, the case of understanding. the aim is to show that while the former represents a stance which complicates exponentially, the second broads out in simple, but really clarifying answers. it is thus reinforced the initial assertion to the effect that there is a sense in which wittgenstein does and does not belong to western philosophical tradition. %K traditional philosophy %K wittgenstein. %U http://www.scielo.org.ve/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0798-11712006000200006&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
