Abstract:In writing Presentation of the World: considerations on the thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Giannotti' s intentions were not primarily exegetical. He aimed to follow some of Wittgenstein' s conceptual pathways in order to deal with his own philosophical obsessions. In this paper, I show why and how some of Wittgenstein' s lines of thought helped Giannotti to logically clarify a couple of his own obsessive philosophical themes: the practical transcendental and the dialectic of sociability.
