Abstract
This lecture treats Wittgenstein's two acknowledged brushes with phenomenology. I want to show how his earlier attempt to construct a phenomenological language (as well as its subsequent rejection), serve as the point of departure for a new analysis of language and experience, with certain parallels to the phenomenologies of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. To this end, I will focus on Wittgenstein's later discussions of the inner/outer, body, and language.
