The Thought of Event and The Practice of Language—A Comparative Study of Heidegger’s and Wittgenstein’s Thoughts

Abstract

Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein are two of the most important philosophers of twentieth-century philosophy, and their ideas became the founders of two major philosophical traditions (Continental Philosophy and Anglo-Saxon Philosophy). Their ideas were formed on the basis of a common problematic consciousness, i.e. a critique of the philosophy of subjectivity. So on this basis, it is possible to seek the intrinsic relationship between the two views, from which we can get a glimpse of the two philosophers’ different answers to the common problem and seek the possibility of mutual dialog.
